With NEH funding, Five Colleges, Incorporated, and co-directors Alice Nash of University of Massachusetts, Amherst and Linda Coombs of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head lead a professional development program for K-12 educators titled Teaching Native American Histories. The program takes place on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard, the Wampanoag homeland in southeastern Massachusetts. Participants investigate questions about sources and interpretation, engage with the latest scholarship on Indigenous histories, and return to their classrooms with richer accounts of Native American histories and cultures.
