Native+Americans

You will put everything into four categories - (1) Geographical location and natural resources (wild game, adobe, stone, desert soil and plants, rivers, etc.), (2) Lifestyle (food, clothing, government, organization, etc.), (3) Homes and/or dwellings (all buildings), and (4) Culture (religion, beliefs, and practices). You can also have a fifth category - Miscellaneous (interesting facts, encounters with other groups, etc.) You would only use this category if the information doesn't fit anywhere else, but you feel it is important enough to include. __2. How to complete this assignment__ 1. Use your assigned native group and select one area to compare and contrast. For example, you could use a religious aspect from Aztec and Iroquois. Explain how they are similar and how they different. You could say they both used masks in religious ceremonies, but the Aztec made theirs from wood while the Iroquois painted them on their faces (I made this up). As you can see, this explains how they are similar and different. 2. You will repeat the process with your group and every other native group. You should change the category until you have used all four. For the other two, you can choose any two categories, but you must you different details. For example, if you compare religion twice, if the first compared masks, the second would be something other than masks. You could compare spirits or gods. 3. You will need to print this before you come to class on Tuesday.
