Telling our Story: The Living History of the Myaamia

The Myaamia Center has developed a curriculum for grades 3-12 that tells the history of the Myaamia (Miami) tribe from pre-contact through today.

"Telling our Story: The Living History of the Myaamia provides teachers and home schooling families with a curriculum for teaching Myaamia (Miami Tribe) history to grades 3-12. The curriculum includes primary sources, images, videos, and lesson plans, which are all linked to the relevant content standards for Ohio, Indiana, and Oklahoma."

 "As a whole, the six sections of this curriculum address Myaamia history beginning with the pre-contact period (pre-1600s) and concluding with contemporary issues." 

Power Point slide presentations, downloadable lesson plans, an online language dictionary,
and pictures of artifacts are just a few of the many wonderful resources available to educators 
through this online curriculum.
