American+Indian+Project

**__Social Studies 9: American Indian Project__**

The native people were the original inhabitants of this land we now call home. The purpose of this assignment is to learn about one of the tribes that lived here in days gone by. (And by here I mean the North American continent.)

For this project you will be picking a tribe. You will research the tribe and create a visual project to help people understand your tribe. You will be using Prezi to create your project. You will need to go to prezi.com and create an account. (Be certain to make an educational account to give you access to more features.)

Your project should include:


 * A title indicating your name and the name of the tribe.
 * A map of where your tribe existed in North America.
 * A Timeline. Go to dipity.com and create a digital timeline of your tribe. Record major events in your tribe’s history.
 * A short biography of a famous person from the tribe or of the leader of the tribe.
 * A primary source document that gave you insights into your tribe.
 * Describe the culture of the tribe at its peak. Be certain to explain how their society was organized and how it functioned.
 * Current News. What has been happening with your tribe lately?
 * Prediction: What do you think the tribe will be like in the future? Will their culture exist? Why or why not?
 * Questions. What are you wondering about in relation to your tribe?
 * Sources: Document __any__ source from which you received information. (Google is not a source….it is a search engine that takes you to a source.)
