Native American Cultural Study

Project


The team must: research the culture of Native American tribes from a region in the United States, create research products that share learning; and present new knowledge to the class and teacher that explains your answer to this Essential Question:


  • How does where we live affect how we live?

Some answers to these questions will help:


  • How does geography affect the choices made for shelter/housing?
  • In what ways does the environment/climate affect culture (foods, tools, clothing, recreation)?
