Indigenous Wisdom Curriculum
The Indigenous Wisdom Curriculum is a Pueblo-based curriculum that aims to strength the identity of Native American children in New Mexico by providing comprehensive K-12 unit plans on the complex political, social, cultural, and economic history of the Pueblo Nations of New Mexico.
Goals
The curriculum helps K–12 teachers educate their students about the factors and conditions that shaped key Pueblo relationships:
- Government-to-government
- Community-to-community
- Culture-to-culture
- Person-to-person
- Historical periods of turmoil and peaceful coexistence.
This resource provides the state’s schools and teachers with material that enhances self-esteem and identity, encourages ethical discussion, acknowledges concern for others, and incorporates a global perspective.
The Indigenous Wisdom Curriculum has a created a website dedicated to the project and can be viewed at IndianPuebloEducation.org. The website will provide access to the history of the project, information of the Curriculum Writers, and access to all unit plans.
