American Indian Project

What is your end in mind?

You have learned quite a bit about the American Indian tribes that populated this continent before the arrival of the European explorers. You will now research more about one of the tribes to extend your learning. You will create a presentation that shows all you have learned.

 

This website contains all of the links to information you will use to create your presentation. Your end in mind is a narrated PowerPoint presentation that you will turn into a video. 

 

Standards:

SS3H1 Describe early American Indian cultures and their development in North America.
a. Locate the regions where American Indians settled in North America: Arctic, Northwest Southwest, Plains, Northeast, and Southeast.
b. Compare and contrast how American Indians in each region used their environment to obtain food, clothing, and shelter.
c. Discuss how American Indians continue to contribute to American life (e.g., arts, literature)
