Using a variety of educational materials is essential for high school American History students studying the pre-Columbian United States. Textbooks alone may offer limited perspectives, while primary sources, maps, documentaries, artifacts, and digital tools can provide a more complete and accurate understanding of Indigenous cultures.
These resources help students explore the diversity of Native American societies, including their economies, belief systems, and technologies. Visual and interactive materials make abstract or unfamiliar content more relatable and engaging. Multiple sources also encourage critical thinking and a deeper appreciation of how Indigenous peoples shaped the continent long before European contact.
