The Indigenous Wisdom curriculum is rich with instructional strategies, resources, and Pueblo-centered cultural knowledge that is valuable to students from diverse backgrounds and dispositions in life. Lesson plans are available in language arts, social studies, mathematics, health & wellness, and science.
Written over several years with the guidance and advice of prominent leaders, advocate and educators, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center has developed Indigenous Wisdom Curriculum, a K-12 supplemental curriculum written to New Mexico Standards and Benchmarks and provided to teachers seeking lesson plans created from a Pueblo perspective and tied to Pueblo core values and a cultural perspective as its foundation.
Currently, this free Indigenous Wisdom Curriculum includes various lesson plans that span all subject areas, incorporates cultural humility trainings and open houses at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center where educators can learn and ask questions and gain insight on why teaching from this lens is critical and important.
