SYNOPSIS: In this lesson, students learn about the importance of water to Indigenous Peoples and the need to protect water today.
SCIENTIST NOTES: This lesson allows students to brainstorm ways to support Indigenous Peoples in protecting their waterways. The Indigenous Peoples of Oregon have been living with nature from inception, and this lesson suggests sustainable ways humans can live in harmony with nature. All the maps, images, videos and supporting materials embedded in the lesson are well-sourced. This lesson is recommended for teaching.
POSITIVES:
-This lesson focuses on historical and current injustices faced by Indigenous Peoples.
-This lesson offers students an opportunity to creatively brainstorm ways to protect waterways in the Willamette Valley.

ADDITIONAL PREREQUISITES:
-It is necessary to acquire We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom before the lesson. You can check your school library or local library to borrow a copy of the book.
