Explore research, classroom materials, campaigns, and media resources created to increase accurate, contemporary representation of Native peoples and challenge stereotypes and invisibility. IllumiNative worked with Native-led organizations, Tribal Nations, educators, artists, and community leaders to change public narratives about Native peoples. Although the organization sunset in 2025, its website remains available as an archive of research and projects. Educators will find especially useful K-12 activity guides developed with the National Indian Education Association, Amplifier, and Nia Tero, including materials on Native art, storytelling, food sovereignty, traditional games, language, notable Native leaders, boarding schools, contemporary identity, and Indigenous Peoples' Day. Resources are organized into collections for Pre-K-2, grades 3-5, and grades 6-8, with additional educator lesson plans and research to support older students.

Have students listen to or read a Native story and identify important details, themes, and lessons. Then have them retell, illustrate, or dramatize the story. Explore the geometry found in Navajo weaving, then have students identify patterns, symmetry, shapes, and tessellations before designing their own geometric pattern. Students can write an "I Remember" poem about family, traditions, places, or meaningful memories, then add illustrations or photographs to create a personal heritage page.

"SEL 101: What Are the Core Competencies and Key Settings?" is a brief animated overview of CASEL's social and emotional learning framework. The video introduces five interconnected competencies -- self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making -- and shows how SEL develops across classrooms, schools, families, caregivers, and communities. It works well as a concise introduction for educators, families, or older students before a discussion, a professional learning session, or a deeper study of SEL. The video is free to view without an account, although YouTube may display advertising, collect viewing data, suggest unrelated videos, and be unavailable in districts that block YouTube.
