rubric
All 3 columns completed AND 'Left out' column identifies Indigenous-perspective + labor-exploitation + continuing-impact
Hints
- Column 3 'Left out' is the most important - what does the source NOT say that the contemporary Indigenous-nation perspective adds?
- Reference CA 2018 reform of mission curriculum OR equivalent state reform.
Misconceptions to watch
- Romanticizing missions/forts ('they brought education and culture')
- Pure-villain narrative without specific evidence
- Missing continuing impact on contemporary Indigenous nations
