Some consider “indigenous” to be the most inclusive term to use when referring to peoples whose ancestry is pre-colonial. For more information, see Indigenous Peoples at the United Nations.  \nIn some countries, such as Canada, terminology including “First Nations,”“First Peoples,” or “Aboriginal” are used.  \nIllinois includes ancestral lands of the following nations:  \nPeoria, Kaskaskia, Cahokia, Tamaroa, Moingwena, Michigamea, Coiracoentanon, Chinkoa, and Espeminikia.  \nHistorically, individuals who are indigenous to what we now know as the United States were not treated equitably. Instead, they were met with unspeakable violence, forced out of their homes, driven off ancestral lands, robbed of resources, and denied opportunities as the United States was established. Many Native children were taken from their families and sent to boarding schools designed to impose colonialist culture, language, and values. The impact on Indigenous peoples and communities was profound and persists to this day. Despite the challenges, many individuals and groups continue to advocate for equity for Indigenous peoples.  \nEquity Heroes  \n[isbe](isbe.net)[.net](isbe.net)  \nKim Teehee is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation and is the director of Government Relations for Cherokee Nation.

They are connected in  \nnature and the birthrights of Indigenous people.”  \n-Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi, Former Vice President of Fi i  \nWhat can you do?  \n• Find out which ancestral lands your home, school, or workplace rests upon and acknowledge its history.  \n• Visit cultural centers and museums to learn about Native cultures.  \n• Avoid misappropriation of Native imagery and customs.  \n• Educate yourself on terminology.  \nIf you have a suggestion for an Equity Hero theme, [please email equity@isbe.net](please email equity@isbe.net).  \nPhotos  \nKim Teehee: Cherokee Nation | Anthony Tamex-Pochel: Evolving Man Project | White Swan Dream Makers: White Swan Dream Makers National Indigenous Women's Resource Center: National Indigenous Women's Resource Center | American Indian Association of Illinois: American Indian Association of Illinois","cbCairAsUt6YGLN3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairAsUt6YGLN3","pdf",3465189,"English","# Equity Heroes\n# Groups and Resources\n# What can you do?\n# Photos","[{\"question\":\"What date is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, and what is it for?\",\"answer\":\"It is August 9 and is presented as a time to recognize and celebrate Indigenous cultures, histories, traditions, and contributions.\"},{\"question\":\"Which terms are mentioned for Indigenous peoples in some countries like Canada?\",\"answer\":\"The document cites terminology such as “First Nations,” “First Peoples,” and “Aboriginal.”\"},{\"question\":\"What practical actions does the document suggest for readers?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends learning which ancestral lands their home, school, or workplace rests upon, visiting cultural centers and museums, avoiding misappropriation of Native imagery and customs, and educating themselves on terminology.\"}]","Celebrating Indigenous Peoples - Equity Heroes and Resources | PDF",1791598022]
