COMPILED & REVIEWED BY CLAUDIA A. FOX TREE, M.Ed (Arawak). Here are resources I recommend in courses I teach about Native Americans - like book lists, websites, video clips, music/songs, curriculum ideas, and other thoughts thrown in for explanation… Mostly, this blog is a place to present truths and perspectives about the Indigenous People of the Western Hemisphere (with particular focus on the Caribbean) not easily found in other places.

Question: What do you think about Christians hosting a Passover Sedar?
Answer: I am not Jewish, but as a Native American I have an opinion on appropriating spiritual and religious practices from historically oppressed groups who many be struggling to keep their own cultural traditions accurate and authentic - it's not right to "borrow" especially if someone is a member of the dominant culture and then has the ability/power to "frame" the oppressed group's experience. Doing something jointly across cultures or participating in another culture's activities, when appropriate, is fine.
