SUMMARY:Indigenous Sacred Places - A GeoCivics Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nEvery human possesses a “sense of place\,” subjective feelings and memories evoked by a geographic location. Both culture and experience influence people’s perceptions of places and regions. This is especially evident of sacred places where physical and human characteristics interact to give spiritual meaning and significance. This inquiry-based lesson explores sacred places from a global to local scale of analysis\, examines the unique nature of indigenous sacred places\, and culminates with an investigation of local indigenous sacred sites. Based upon the 5E Model of Inquiry\, this culturally responsive lesson incorporates active learning strategies and numerous scaffolds for diverse learners. This lesson is the product of a 2022 Summer Academy field study of The GeoCivics Project: “Westward Expansion Through the Lens of Indigenous Communities.” The GeoCivics Project is funded by the US Department of Education and operates through the ASU Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College. \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School |Place-based | Indigenous | Cultures | Inquiry \nConference Room\nXavier \nMeet the Presenter\nA self-proclaimed “geofanatic” with 30+ years in education\, Jeannine Kuropatkin teaches World History/Geography and Holocaust Studies at Red Mountain High School in Mesa\, Arizona.
