Introduction:

Native Americans were the first Americans.  They have lived in the United States for a very long time.  Native Americans have a culture all their own.  They use what they have to eat, build a shelter and make clothing. 

 

Task:

In this web quest, you have been sent back in time to study an Indian culture.  When you return, you will need to share with your class what you have learned about that Indian culture's food, shelter and clothing.  You will create a diorama and a slide for a power point presentation to share with your class.

Find out these things:
Where your Indian culture's tribes lived.
