Internet Search ** **American Indian Tribal List ** http://www.native-languages.org/languages.htm This website provides a list of American Indian tribes and their languages, a vocabulary list of the languages, geographical index of the tribes, and cultures of the different areas. This site would be wonderfully used when learning about the different types of Indians and learning similarities and differences of them. The vocabulary would also be a great addition to your classroom having students use Indian words will help them relate to the material and enjoy the lesson. http://www.nhusd.k12.ca.us/ALVE/NativeAmerhome.html/nativeamhome.html This site is a great interactive site for kids of all ages learning about Native Americans. It opens with a map of four different locations to find Indians. Once you click on each tribe you are taken to a separate site of information based on the Indians from that specific area. It includes resources these Indians might have used there, animals they hunted, homes they lived in, and people they interacted with. This site would be great to use in a classroom. It provides a lot of background information that would be useful in beginning a lesson. http://www.apples4theteacher.com/native-american/ This website was my favorite because it is so kid friendly. Links are provided for games, coloring pages, rituals, plays, worksheets, poems, and stories all related to Native Americans. Teachers can use this site to spice up their lessons or they could allow the students to access this site to test their knowledge. This website makes learning about Indians fun. It would be a great addition to your classroom. **Literature List ** **A Native American Encyclopedia: History, Culture, and People ** By Barry Pritzker This book provides historical and demographical information about each tribal group of North America. It explains the differences of cultures clearly and also explores the similarities of tribes. All tribes are listed alphabetically, so this book would be a great resource for a classroom learning about Native Americans. By Carole Marsh This is just another addition of Carole Marsh’s wonderful books on American Indians. This book is a combination of many biographies about famous Native Americans of the past and even some from today. This book will amaze students that Native Americans aren’t only people from the past; they are our senators, our doctors, our neighbor, or even our teacher. By William Thomas Hagan This historical book describes the background of relations between whites and Indians. Information is provided on trading, living, feuds, and mixed families of these two different cultures. This book would be helpful for teachers to gain additional information on this subject area. It may be a difficult read for children but the information is constructive and could be taught to students in order for them to better understand the American Indian life.

**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Literature List ** **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush by: Tomie dePaola ** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> After looking through this book I thought it would be a great book for the teacher to read to start the lesson off. If not using it then it could also be used for the students to read on their own. This book is about the Indians legend that explains the origin of the Indian paintbrush flower. In the book it explains how a young Indian boy, Little Gopher, becomes a man in an engaging tale of strength, reverence and obedience. Not only is it a great book on Native Indians, but maybe also be able to teach the children a lesson. **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sacagawea by: Jane Sutcliffe ** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> This book is all about the journey of Sacagawea.

The first chapter starts off with her being captured, then onto her journey of discovery, next was all about the people she encountered on her journey, and finally ends with her journeys end. This book has great pictures and information on one of Native Americans most famous females. **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">American Indians by: Weldon Owen ** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> This book is great for a stage 2 reader. It talks all about the Native Americans from the first Americans to Indians today and all in between. The book goes into some detail on what sports they played, special occasions, what they lived in and what village life was like, and much more. I liked how this book explained some of the harder words that the kids might not know and how they are all written down in the glossary at the end.
