What educators are saying
Description
Do something for Native American Heritage Month that your students won't soon forget—with my large, visually engaging Famous Faces® collaboration poster. Great for Indigenous Peoples Day celebrations, too!
This poster is part of my Famous Faces® series. Great for ANY grade, PreK-high school, with two poster options included.
This poster pairs with my Unscramble the Famous Faces® of Native American Heritage collaboration poster.
This fun, collaborative activity features 8 Native Americans, including…
- Geronimo: Prominent, courageous, Apache leader.
- Jim Thorpe: First Native American (Sauk and Fox) to win an Olympic gold medal.
- Chester Nez: Was the last surviving Navajo code talker from World War II.
- Wilma Mankiller: First woman to serve as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation.
- Sitting Bull: Influential and respected leader of the Lakota tribe.
- John Herrington: NASA astronaut and the first member of a Native American tribe (Chickasaw) to fly in space.
- Sacagawea: From the Native American Shoshone tribe. She assisted with the Lewis and Clark expedition.
- Maria Tallchief: Osage ballerina, considered to be the first Native American prima ballerina.
My collaboration posters are easy for teachers and fun for kids and make a lasting impression—on students, parents, and your entire school community! Large and visually striking, this poster is the perfect visual for your students to teach them about influential Native Americans.
It makes a great display…
- In the front office
- In an auditorium
- Down a hallway
- On your classroom bulletin board
No matter where it ends up hanging, it will engender unending compliments while proving a source of inspiration to your students and school community.
The collaboration of this Famous Faces® poster makes an impact without saying anything. Every single piece of the poster matters—just as every child in the class matters. Your students will walk by and say, "I did that piece" each time they see the poster. They take great pride in being part of this art project.
Differentiation is built into the design of this poster. Some pages have more to color than others, so some kids will easily color two pages. Other pages have a lot of little details to color. You can use this to differentiate and provide the appropriate experience for each child to succeed and be part of the group.
Native American Heritage Month Poster Details:

- You can leave the background white or use a light background (explained in the resource).

2 Poster Options Included
I created 2 variations to make this is as easy for you as possible. The final posters of BOTH are the same—the difference is the color key at the top—you do NOT need to print both poster options.
You have 2 options
Poster #1: The first version of the poster has the color key in black and white with instructions and notes printed at the top telling the students exactly what they need to do on their page (see the preview for an example). You will need to print the page in black and white for this option. There are complete instructions in the resource for you.
Poster #2: The second version of this poster has the color key in full color. If you can print in color, use this option. It will be easier for students to know precisely how their pieces should be colored. It's also beneficial for younger children who might not yet be able to read and save you from having to run around the room reading the different instructions to the kids (see the preview for an example).
Other Options Included:
I have provided instructions for a few various options...
• How to make a mini-poster
• Background color options
• Title options include: “Native American Heritage," "Native American Indian Heritage Month", "Famous Faces of Native Americans," and “Native American Heritage Month”.
