Saipan's Land and Sea: Battle Scars and Sites of Resilience
FAIN: BH-267091-19
East Carolina University (Greenville, NC 27858-5235)
Anne Swenson Ticknor (Project Director: February 2019 to present)
Two one-week workshops for
72 school teachers on the history of military conflicts in Saipan.
The newly proposed Landmarks of American History and Culture program, Saipan’s Land and Sea: Battle Scars & Sites of Resilience, provides 72 teachers an incomparable opportunity to interact with a continuous, intact, and largely undisturbed record of conflict history outside of museum walls on the island of Saipan, a US commonwealth in the western Pacific Ocean. The one-week program will be held twice at Kagman High School by a mostly indigenous project team comprised of educators, historians, archaeologists, authors, and cultural guides. Hosting the institute on Saipan provides a unique opportunity for often under-represented teachers to participate in NEH Landmark programming and for US mainland teachers to interact with a largely undisturbed record of conflict history that is virtually untold in history textbooks and unknown to K-12 students.
