Tsi ietsenhtha /Gee Yeh Jon' Ta - Plattsburgh Art Project
One story that still needs telling in our community is that of the Native Americans.
We are in an ancient gathering place, where water from the mountains flows into the lake. Tsi ietsenhtha is the Mohawk name for Plattsburgh, "where one scoops water."
The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian has many excellent teaching/learning resources at their Native Knowledge 360° Education Initiative website: https://americanindian.si.edu/nk360
These include materials for “The ‘First Thanksgiving:’ How Can We Tell a Better Story?” https://americanindian.si.edu/nk360/resources/First-Thanksgiving-How-Can-We-Tell-a-Better-Story
Native Knowledge 360— The “First Thanksgiving”: How Can We Tell a Better Story? This NK360° inquiry resource provides evidence in multiple formats to help teachers and students dispel misconceptions and misunderstandings of the “First Thanksgiving,” especially in regard to the Wampanoag who have been largely absent from this national story.
