The rich heritage of the first Americans is explored in this cross-curricular volume. Students will learn about the history and culture of native groups who inhabited the Great Plains of the United States and Canada when the European colonists arrived. Careful attention is paid to the customs and beliefs of these peoples. Their legends, philosophies, and forms of government are discussed, and their origins, language, names, dwellings, tools, food, games, and crafts are studied. Activities include a report, communicating with pictographs, dressing in ceremonial clothing, playing Indian games, time line, and use of a buffalo, plus geography, word match, word search, mapping, Venn diagram, and vocabulary exercises. Projects include making a mandala, a triptych, a parfleche, a table-top tipi, a horse model, corn chowder, and preserved meat. Generously illustrated with pencil art throughout. Includes answer key and bibliography. All 48 pages perforated for easy removal.
