Billy Mills Lesson Plans​

Inspiring generations with his Olympic gold medal victory and his lifelong dedication to serving Native American communities, Billy Mills is a powerful figure in both sports and activism. These lesson plans are designed to help educators teach students about the values of perseverance, cultural pride, and community service, using Billy Mills’ story as a foundation for learning and personal growth.

These free lesson plans were provided in consultation with Billy & Pat Mills by members of the Billy Mills Native Studies Project, a group of Native leaders and Kansas educators wishing to celebrate the heritage of Native Americans and emphasize the importance of civic action in our communities.
