NEW: Indigenous Expressions: Literature and Arts in the Secondary Classroom – 4-Week Course

Indigenous literature, art, and music highlight the diversity and activism of Native peoples in the United States and emphasize their continued influence in the world today. This course brings together works by Indigenous authors, artists, and musicians—spanning literature, music, and visual art—to explore the contemporary issues and complex histories shaping their communities, including sovereignty and land rights, environmental justice, cultural preservation, media representation, and life on and beyond reservations. The course includes selections from the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Peabody Essex Museum, as well as works shaped by the lens of Indigenous Futurism. Throughout the course, participants engage in reflection and guided activities that support purposeful consideration of how these works can be used in classroom settings.
