Why Do Different Kinds of Histories Matter?
Across the UK in the autumn term, Year 7 students are introduced to secondary history by grappling with sources and interpretations. In this scheme of work - crafted by Jennie Brown (King Edward School VII, Sheffield), with advice from Hartman Deetz (Mashpee Wampanoag) and other members of the TIHPS team - students will engage with the different ways in which Indigenous and First Nations communities have shared their histories. Drawing together material culture, wampum belts, oral, and written accounts students will come to understand how ways of telling and sharing history differ, and in centring Indigenous voices, why different interpretations of the past exist.
