Whatever it is,
the way you teach history
defines how useful
it is in the present.
Indigenous and Gullah Geechee Curriculum
We have worked collaboratively with many different types of learning institutions to craft easy to understand, creative, and accurate historical curriculums. The above samples come from a unit about the Indigenous past of the South Carolina Lowcountry aimed at 8-12th grades. Below is a sample of materials for teacher workshop about Santa Elena and Indigenous South Carolinians.
The above video clips are part of a mini-course built to teach Lowcountry Indigenous history.
Carolina Community Archaeology works differently that traditional archaeology or education companies.
We utilize the latest archaeological and historical research to build brand new history products like curriculum, on site and digital programs. Our experienced educators can help you develop new materials or history products featuring cutting edge discoveries.
Teaching in the Community
CCA is often asked to teach classes in the community about history, archaeology, or any combination in between. We craft classes, programs, and presentations specific to each group. In 2025 alone we have worked with Mississippi State University’s Anthropology Department, OLLI USCB Life Long Learning Center, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Lowcountry, the Hilton Head Lions Club, the Hilton Head Rotary Club, Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park, The Barnwell Tabby, History Before Us, The Lemon Project At William and Mary University, the Womans Association of Hilton Head Island, and the Morehouse Movement, Memory and Justice Project.
