Description

Join us as we explore the rich history of the Native Texas Indian tribes who impacted Texas and the U.S. We’ll discuss the food, shelter, clothing, and way of life of several tribes. We’ll also dive into the geography of the land, as we explore the fruits and vegetables that were available to our ancestors. Students will learn a thing or two about the culture of the Apache, Caddo, Comanche, and Cherokee tribes. Through maps and interactive pre-recorded videos, along with a combination of storytelling and worksheets (such as crosswords and word searches) students will learn the connections between their world and the rich history of Texas. This program will teach students critical thinking, problem-solving, and relationship building as they develop connections between social studies, history, and their everyday lives.

  • Literary Connection: Indian Tribes of Texas, Day, Jones, Kelley..., Library of Congress Catalog Card #: 71-160341.
