Online Programs
Redhawk is pleased to offer several online programs to bring Indigenous led lessons to virtual classrooms and businesses across the nation and globe. Many of our classes can be taught one-on-one, presented to a group, and given the present COVID-19 crisis, can be done via webinar.
If you’re interested in bringing our online classes to your students or employees, please email us at native@redhawkcouncil.org.
Turtle Island Nations: Eastern Tribes Information Course
Our Turtle Island Nations programs focus on the original peoples of these lands, from The Arctic to The Desert.
Covering the South Eastern, Northern Plains, Southern Plains, South West, West Coast as well as Special Areas and Indigenous history surrounding New York City.
We will go over topics such as:
1.) How they interacted with the land, and how they presently interact with it after colonization and the arrival of settlers.
2.) Respective cultural practices.
3.) Displacement and “land acknowledgements.”
4.) Tools, instruments and celebration.
Social Justice & Activism from an Indigenous Perspective
In this online class we will discuss how Indigenous peoples interact with colonization to advocate for issues that affect our communities.
From Murdered & Missing Indigenous Women Movement (MMIW) to oil industry to cultural misrepresentation by media and movies, our educators will be able to tailor a program to help educate your class, employees or org on issues affecting Indigenous people and what you can do to facilitate viable change.
