Red Dress Day Lesson plan for grades 1-3

  • May 1, 2025

People have been asking me how to teach MMIWG to younger grades. It is my believe that we need to build the foundation for students. So in grades 1-3 we need to educate about Indigenous women, their role in community, and connections to the land. This is how we set up the foundation to be able to have deeper conversations with students when they reach grade 4. I created this lesson for people to use, feel free to share with others.
