7: Search Strategy

Things to Think About

Students would need to understand the date of these photos and textbooks; realizing how long ago these were created.

Keywords

Indians of North America, Ojibwe or Ojibway Indian(s), Chippewa Indian(s), Indian children, Dakota Indian(s), Sioux Indian(s), Dakota Language

Other ideas (to assist with discovery)

Blow-up pictures for kids to see?? Notice details? Try to read some of the Native American Language

Challenges to finding resources on this standard

Objects in Minnesota Reflections are not always tagged as "Minnesota Native Americans." You will need to do some searching for names of Native people, such as Ojibwa (Chippewa) Indians.
