Focus: Sovereignty, Negotiated Peace, and Territorial Loss
Guided by Standard HSS 8.5.3, this resource collection deconstructs the legal and cultural complexities of treaties between the U.S. government and Indigenous nations. The curriculum utilizes a Puzzle Pack for key term reinforcement—focusing on land cessions, tribal sovereignty, and the outcomes of specific treaty negotiations—and an interactive Trivia Game to model the shifting political landscape of the frontier. Students synthesize these "Promises on Paper" concepts through a PBL Choice Board that includes infographic creation, video reporting, and comic strip storytelling. By analyzing the long-term impact of these agreements, learners engage with essential questions regarding justice and the human cost of expansion, ensuring a "Radiant" and differentiated educational experience.
