Long before Columbus came, they lived and thrived throughout the land. This cross-curricular unit teaches that the term Native Americans represents a diverse group. There are many different tribes and nations and each has its own unique traditions. It also shows that Native Americans are members of our modern, contemporary society. We study their past to understand their rich traditions. The unit begins with the classroom environment, providing a chart for learning the traditions of Native Americans from six different geographic regions of North America. Teaching suggestions provided. Includes bibliography, and complete step-by-step instructions for all activities. All pages are reproducible and perforated for easy removal.

Since 1979, Evan-Moor Educational Publishers has provided teachers and educators with practical, creative, and engaging PreK-6+ educational materials to support and enrich the curriculum. We strive to produce educational materials that are aligned with current standards and best educational practices, but that are also aligned with student interests and motivations. We pride ourselves on our ability to create products that not only build and reinforce basic and complex skills, but that build and reinforce a curiosity about the subjects in which those skills are taught—about reading, writing, math, science, the arts, social studies, and geography—products that help children learn. And, just as important, products that help children love learning.
