From Indigenous Peoples Day to Thanksgiving Social Media Campaign

Confluence October 12, 2020

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day. Over the next seven weeks until the week of Thanksgiving, Confluence will use our social media channels to share resources centered around the six Critical Orientations for Indigenous Studies Curriculum: Place, Political Nationhood, Presence, Perspective, Partnership, and Power. Developed by Leilani Sabzalian of the University of Oregon, the six Critical Orientations provide not only a way to build curriculum but to guide anyone’s understanding of Indigenous culture. This first week will be dedicated to introducing the orientations, grounding ideas and we will start next week with “Place.”
