Overview
The Foundations of US Americans can support classrooms, workshops, reading groups, and family research circles when educators keep the site's evidence labels visible. The site is a learning center, not a certification authority.
What this helps you learn
- Place hubs can teach geography, chronology, source comparison, and public-history care.
- Fact Checks can teach claim splitting and evidence levels.
- Tales can support reflection when their fiction/story labels remain visible.
Careful claims
- Do not assign pages as proof of identity, tribe, legal status, ancestry, DNA results, descent, or membership.
- Do not remove caution labels from classroom handouts.
- Do not ask learners to disclose private family or living-person information.
Research path
- Start with Start Here, Research Method, Safe Sharing, and Claim Review.
- Ask learners to identify what is supported, what is open, and what source would be needed next.
- Use pseudonymous examples for sensitive research exercises.
Evidence note: This starter entry is educational. Add sources, dates, maps, Community Notes, and Fact Checks as research develops.
