It’s Me again!!
As I am working my way through the TruthQuest TM for Early American History 1, there is a section that covers many Indian tribes. My library doesn’t have books for all of them (well, most of them). Do you think it is really necessary to cover all of them or just read some on the ones that the library has?
nerakrParticipantI’d just use what’s available. Maybe focus on the ones native to your area or that appear a lot in the history books.
MonucramMemberThere 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 🙂
MonucramMemberHere is one I found http://www.learner.org/interactives/historymap/indians.html
When I get to my bookmarks, I’ll look it up.
Paula SpicerParticipantWe 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.
MonucramMemberhttp://500nations.com/tribes/Tribes_State-by-State.asp. this looks good. Has videos.
This could be helpful if you just want to know the N.A. in your statehttp://www.kstrom.net/isk/maps/tribesbystate.html
anniepeterParticipantHolling 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.
ThreekidsmomParticipantI second Holling C Holling’s Book of Indians-my children really enjoyed this book!
ClaireParticipantThis 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.
hlmckinney7ParticipantMy kids were not all that excited to cover various Indian groups, so we did a general overview of Indians, but I took it as opportunity to move on to the next topic.
