The First Workshop is Over but You Can Still Join Us

On August 2nd, Professors Juliana Taken Alive and Annmaria De Mars led an online workshop on an introduction to primary sources available from the Library of Congress, with educators from North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Colorado and California. You can see a rough draft of the game we designed here. We started with the introduction to what are primary sources and a module on Native American veterans of World War I.

You can play the game online here.

We will continue working on it during the workshop at Fort Yates in October.

That’s great but what if I missed the online workshop?
