Kids These Days: Ethnographic Evidence on the Impact of Textbook Misrepresentation

Each have their own backgrounds and personal stories tied to their cultures, but much of their points are the same. They wish for things like teachers who understand their experiences and classroom activities and textbooks that include Native and other BIPOC experiences. Highlighting student voices and perspectives shows the dire need facing the US school system today when it comes to curricula being taught.
