October is LGBTQ+ History Month. LGBTQ+ people have always existed, but LGBTQ+ history, which is an integral part of the history of the United States, has often been ignored or erased. We offer this updated resource page for learning and teaching about the contributions of LGBTQ+ people, including articles, guides, posters, webinars and more.
Our 13-episode podcast series, Queer America, is devoted to this understudied history. Join hosts Leila Rupp and John D’Emilio on a journey that spans from Harlem to the Frontier West, revealing stories of LGBTQ+ life we should have learned in school.

Join us on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in New York for an informative and inspiring professional development event featuring the latest Native Knowledge 360° resources.
Learn about the roles Haudenosaunee leaders and communities played during the American Revolution with a deep dive into two powerful new tools designed to bring Native voices and experiences into your classroom:
Native Women Leading the Way: From Revolution to the Future is a teaching poster that spotlights three remarkable Native women who led their communities through the conflict of the American Revolution and beyond.
How Did the Haudenosaunee Persevere Through the American Revolution? is an engaging digital book tailored for middle school students that emphasizes the resilience of the Haudenosaunee people.
We offer recommended books for pre-K–12 that challenge stereotypes and focus on contemporary Native Americans. Our list is drawn from books recommended by Debbie Reese of American Indians in Children’s Literature.
The relaunched Teaching Hard History podcast series is back with two episodes exploring how to use films and documentaries to teach critical history.
Host Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Ph.D., is joined by film historian Ron Briley, sharing practical, actionable strategies to use film in learning settings to frame the narrative of complex topics, including American slavery, the Civil War and Reconstruction.
In this course, learners will explore the impact problematic narratives about Native Americans have on society and student education, as well as learn ways to recognize and share more complete narratives, both inside and outside the classroom.
