Well... I was right....Folks have searched IAD for
Thanksgiving lesson ideas. There are many sites online
about Thanksgiving. I won't repost all of the Native
American ideas I shared - but will forward to anyone
who asks.

There is now an excellent lesson plan online from
Jesse for Ex Votos paintings (Thanks paintings):

Here is a repeat of my post from two weeks ago:

I am anticipating the need for Native American
ideas....it is that time of year again (smile).

Pottery of the Wampanoag (Eastern woodlands Indians)
would be a good lesson.

Here is help from Getty on teaching cultures right:

I found the list of Do's and Don'ts online:
http://www.ammsa.com/classroom/CLASSEDDOS.html
If you try to remember all of the do's and don'ts you
probably will never teach Native American art again
for fear of offending someone.

Post ideas you have to teach Native America Art and I
will compile for Incredible Art Department. I will
keep in mind the "Dos and Don'ts" list when I list
project ideas on the site.

Folks who would like to see see Thanksgiving Lesson
ideas on the site - reply to this and I will compile.

Sorry for the repeat - Just hoping I might catch a few
who were searching.
