Indigenous Day Class Plan for Kindergarten and Elementary Education

O Indian's day is celebrated annually on the day April 19th and to work this date in the classroom we selected some suggestions and tips for your Indian Day Lesson Plan.

This important date serves to remember and reinforce the identity of the Brazilian and American indigenous people in current history and culture.

April 19 was chosen as the date to commemorate indigenous culture in honor of the First Inter-American Indigenous Congress, which took place on April 19, 1940. The objective of this congress was to bring together indigenous leaders from different regions of the American continent and ensure their rights.

During this date, schools and other educational institutions encourage and propose various activities and playful games to work on this theme. And it was with this in mind that we selected these models ready for your Indian Day Lesson Plan, check out:
