Students begin their Native American reports with talking about local tribes to Minnesota. Talk about their clothing, food, art, homes, natural resources, family life (jobs), tools, transportation, ceremonies, beliefs, etc. Students also discuss Native Americans from the past and now. These photos would create good discussions about this. Students can view the document about President Lincoln in celebration of President's Day. Students can view and read the document about horse care when they go to horse stables for a field trip.
