Topic: Borderlands
Goals: The goal of this lesson is to explore the history of borderlands, and how borders affected people in the past, and how they continue to affect us all, today.
We will look at the definition of borderlands and provide examples of past and current borders issues in and around the US and abroad.
The Tohono O’odham tribe is at the forefront of todays topic. [Recall a federally recognized tribe is a sovereign nation within the United States, recognized as such by the June 18th, 1934 Indian Reorganization Act, otherwise known as the Wheeler – Howard Act.] .
