Teachers will go on a guided gallery tour of "Americans," an exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, which features nearly 350 objects and images, from a Tomahawk missile to baking powder cans, all showing that Indian names and images are everywhere in American life. Through this display and an examination of the staying power of three stories— the life of Pocahontas, the Trail of Tears, and the Battle of Little Bighorn—the exhibition shows that Americans have always been fascinated, conflicted, and profoundly shaped by their relationship to American Indians.  Through the intentional use of a dialogue toolkit, educators can tap into the Americans material to facilitate new conversations with and among students about the power of images and words, the challenges of memory, and the relationship between personal and national values. After the guided gallery tour and dialogue, teachers will learn about digital, classroom ready resources and walk away with print materials and learning experiences they can share with their colleagues and students to transform teaching and learning about American Indians.
