True Or False Quiz

Worksheet Description

As students engage with this worksheet, they are encouraged to verify the truths and uncover the myths surrounding Indigenous Peoples’ Day, fostering a deeper understanding of the day’s significance and the importance of recognizing the rich heritage and enduring presence of Indigenous peoples in the United States.
