WHOSE HISTORY

Whose History is a project working, in part, to better understand how Indigenous perspectives are represented in K-12 classrooms. As an interdisciplinary team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers, educators, designers, and community leaders, we seek to tackle the pressing issues of inequity embedded in social studies education.

Specifically, we are examining teachers’, students’, and Tribal members’ perspectives on whether and from whose perspective Indigenous history and existence is taught in 4th-6th grade social studies, where American Indian history is first required in Utah.
