This article reflects on the work done by the authors with the teachers of the Syracuse School District Native American Program on the initial stages of a curriculum. The Native American Program (NAP) of the Syracuse, New York, School District is working to ensure that both Native and non-Native young people will learn about and remember the Kinzua dam tragedy, which occurred in Pennsylvania, during the 1960s, and will also have some knowledge of what they can do to reduce the chances of events like that happening in the future. The curriculum, according to them, would bring together history and conflict resolution in a format that would engage students' desire to learn about the past and think about how to change the future. In their study, the authors introduce fully scripted dialogues to develop conflict resolution skills. Most conflict resolution training includes a heavy dose of role-playing. The authors believe that future curriculum development should be more elicitive. Moreover, curriculum development needs to reflect more consciously, and be grounded in, a conflict framework.
