Native Americans

Pick 3 or 4 tribes from each area to have the students research. Let them pick which tribe they are interested in and have them do independent research. Depending on the size of the class each student could do their own research or you could group them in 2's or 3's.
One person can then be an artist, one a reporter, and one an editor. They work as a team to present their tribe as the most important to contribute to the white man's survival in a strange land. What did we learn from our Native American friends? How did their environment influence their way of life? What they wore, ate, how they traveled, shelter structures..... Did all the tribes have a belief in common? How did they communicate? What games did they play? Where is your tribe today and what are they doing? Are we still learning from our Native American friends? YES but I won't tell. It has something to do with a virus some folks catch from a little mouse. Native Americans knew about it long before anyone else. But how? Research.......web sites are wonderful.
