**Introduction to American Indian Nations Webquest!**

 * (This lesson addresses social studies standards1 and 2 in area 3.2)**


 * Long ago and even in the recent past, many American Indian Nations lived throughout our state. We will use a webquest to discover the tribes that lived in California. Answer these questions about the tribe you choose:**
 * 1) **Where in California is the tribe from? What was their habitat like? (Desert, forest, etc.?)**
 * 2) **How did they get food? What kind of food was it?**
 * 3) **What kind of house did they live in?**
 * 4) **What kind of clothes did they wear? How did they make their clothes? What did males wear? What did females wear?**
 * 5) **What kind of tools did they use?**
 * 6) **What was their religion like? What did they believe in?**
 * 7) **What ceremonies did they have?**


 * When you are through exploring your tribe, answer the above question in 2-4 paragraphs. After you’ve written your first draft, turn it in for review. Make the necessary corrections, and then get ready to read your paragraphs outloud into a microphone! You will have your voice recorded on a podcast, and the things you discovered about your tribe will be broadcast on the internet!!**
