A group of sixth grade students dedicate their day off of school for "Columbus Day" to the Native, First Nation peoples who were
decimated as a result of Columbus’s "voyage" by learning about Native American cultures, customs, and histories. They use this new knowledge to build accurate models of missionization for their final California Mission Projects, reflecting native people's perspectives of the brutal history of California Missions and demonstrating that although they suffered tremendously, some Native Peoples of California survived and are now thriving and revitalizing their culture, reclaiming their sovereignty of their ancestral lands.

Imperialism is a policy or ideology of extending a country's rule over foreign nations, often by military force or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. Imperialism was both normal and common worldwide throughout recorded history, the earliest examples dating from the mid-third millennium BC.
