Do I cover all the Indian tribes?

There is a really neat web site about where they resided in the US as well as other info. I’ll see if I can locate it or you can Google it 🙂

We sort of broke it down to sections.  Like we did woodland indians (pretty much the east coast to mississippi river), plains, and desert areas.  We looked at some well known ones like seminole, cherokee (main ones in our area), pueblo, etc.  Most of it would be repeated information.  We did find a map somewhere that showed where each tribe lived and that’s neat to have handy.

Holling C Holling wrote Book of Indians, which is an excellent living book that tells about the larger groups (woodland, plains, northwest…4 groups total). I love this book and use it with my younger children for this period.  It gives a story about a young girl and a young boy from each, and tells about their lives.)  It also gives the picture before white man came and after, if I remember correctly.

This is a very interesting and brand new map available for purchase.  It’s a little expensive, but maybe there are less expensive options.  If nothing else viewing it online would be an option during your studies.  The man’s efforts go beyond anything I’ve ever seen to document and protect and promote the real Indian nation heritage.  It’s a great story.
