Human. Nature. Natural Heritage in the Classroom, will focus on the incorporation of environmental history in the classroom. Topics include the relationship of Native Americans with the environment over time, the changing landscape of one community over time, and the impact of building the National Road, Indiana’s State Parks, and suburbs on the Hoosier landscape.
Human. Nature. Natural Heritage in the Classroom is inspired by and presented in conjunction with The Natural Heritage of Indiana documentary project of WFYI Indianapolis, Public Television. Marion Jackson, the editor of the book The Natural Heritage of Indiana that inspired the documentary, described his vision as “a celebration of Indiana’s natural heritage—its natural and human history, its landscape and its life—what it once was, what it is now, and what
it promises to be.” WFYI and documentary filmmaker Samuel Orr have created this four part documentary that combines breathtaking videography with scientific accuracy. With the support of the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust, all of those in attendance at the conference will receive an educators DVD providing video clips from the documentary that can be used to inspire lessons in the classroom.
Funding for the conference is provided by the Indiana Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities. For further information about Human. Nature.
