As such, they cannot be erased. By establishing an Indigenous Peoples’ Day, there is growing validation of Native Americans in this country.  \n• Students will analyze primary documents related to Indigenous Peoples’ Day.  \nESSENTIAL QUESTIONS  \n• What does it mean to bea sovereign nation?  \n• What is the role ofa sovereign nation in protecting individual rights?  \n• How is the establishment of an Indigenous Peoples’ Day an example of the active presence of Native Americans in this country?  \n(Continued on next page)  \nOverview  \nThroughout the 20th and early 21st centuries tribal nations and Indigenous communities have continued to assert their right to self-governance and sovereignty despite numerous efforts to force them to assimilate. By extension, the purposeful erasure of Indigenous peoples as a living and thriving presence in the current, modern-day world also remains a reality.  \nTribal sovereignty predates the existence of the U.S. government and the state of Oregon. Tribal governments are separate and unique sovereign nations with the power to execute their self-governance to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their citizens and to govern their lands, air, and waters. One of the ways Indigenous communities have been embodying their right to sovereignty is through the establishment of an Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Indigenous Peoples’ Day serves as a reminder of the contributions, both past and present, of Indigenous communities and tribal nations.  \nIn this lesson, students will explore the concepts of tribal sovereignty and self-determination and learn about efforts by tribes and other entities to promote and support the celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. This lesson is meant to be used with its companion lesson: Indigenous Peoples’ Day asan Act of Sovereignty Part II.  \nIndigenous Peoples’ Day as an Act of Sovereignty Grade 10  \nLOGISTICS  \n• Where does the activity take place? Classroom  \n• How are the students organized?  \n􀂅 Whole class 􀂅 Teams: 2 – 4  \n􀂅 Pairs 􀂅 Individually  \nTIME REQUIRED  \n90 minutes  \nBackground for teachers  \n• Teachers should understand that tribes have sovereignty, which is the inherent right to govern themselves. Tribal sovereignty means tribes have a government-to-government relationship with the United States. Tribal sovereignty is federally recognized in the U.S. Constitution and is considered “Supreme Law,” meaning it is above state or county laws.  \n• Learn about national efforts by tribes, Indigenous communities, and other entities to establish and recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day.  \n• [https://www.oregonlive.com/port](https://www.oregonlive.com/port)land/2015/10/portland_joins_indigenous_peop.html  \n• [https://www.powwows.com/2018-indige](https://www.powwows.com/2018-indige)nous-peoples-day-october-8-2018/  \n• [https://time.com/4968067/indige](https://time.com/4968067/indige)nous-peoples-day-columbus-day-cities/  \nSTANDARDS  \nOregon social sciences standards  \nCivicsand Government–HS.5; HS.10 Multicultural Studies–HS.11; HS.42; HS.60; HS.61; HS.63; HS.66  \nGeography–HS.41; HS.42; HS.46; HS.47; HS.49; HS.53 History–HS.60; HS.63  \nSocial Science Analysis–HS.72; HS.74; HS.76; HS.77 Oregon English language arts standards Informational Text–9-10.
