Access classroom-ready resources inspired by Pioneer PBS documentaries
Pioneer PBS documentaries offer a unique perspective into the artistic practices of Scandinavian and Native communities in America, particularly in southwest and western Minnesota. These videos showcase the efforts of master artists and craftspeople in preserving their cultural identity through practices such as Sami-inspired bracelet making, Dakota quill working, Norwegian knifemaking and Dakota beadworking. The classroom-ready resources provided by Pioneer PBS are an excellent tool for educators to impart knowledge about these cultural traditions to younger generations. By exploring these resources, students can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of these communities.
