//Teacher Resources Page: Native American Culture//
   1. [|Wild West Native Americans] The site “The Wild West Native Americans” gives a great background of Native American society, legends, faces, art, places, wisdom, recipes, and folktales. It has in depth descriptions of a majority of tribes in North America, famous Native Americans and their stories, and links to other pages with examples of art, religion, folktales, and more research pages. It can also be a great resource page for older elementary children because of its colors, pictures, and easy to understand text.

2. [|Indian Country Today] “Indian Country Today” is an online periodical about all the latest news with Native Americans in North America. This can be a great site if you wanted to incorporate present-day happenings about the Native American culture instead of solely focusing on the past. It has politics, business, living, and even the global scene for Native American people.

3. [|Teacher Vision] “Teacher Vision: Native Americans – Teacher Resources.” This site is by far the best I found regarding preparation for teachers. It has lesson plans, quizzes, references, worksheets, music, language arts, and math activities all related to Native American culture. The Teacher Vision website is great for current and prospective teachers to get ideas on how to fully teach a subject with great supplemental materials. 4. [|A to Z Teacher] “A to Z Teacher Stuff: Native Americans” is a site of collected lesson plans from teachers all over the country. There are links to the different lesson plans with a brief synopsis of what the plans entail. All can be sorted by grade and type of lesson plan needed. These are great examples of lessons actually performed by practicing teachers, so they would be great to use in the classroom.

5. [|Kiddy House Native American Resource] “Native Americans Resources for Kids and Teachers” is a collection of links to different websites that teachers and children can use to discover everything they would want to know about the Native Americans. It has interactive sites where children can discover for themselves and reference sites about the history of Native American women at the time of the colonization of America.

 6. [|Teach-Nology] “Native Americans Teaching Theme” is a website dedicated to presenting and formatting your lesson plans around the study of the Native American culture. It provides workbooks, bulletin board sets, worksheets, activities, games, and lesson plans about the culture and how it can relate to elementary age students.

7. [|Pro Teacher] “Pro Teacher: Native Americans” is centered around links to pages of different activities that have been used to better explain the Native American culture. It’s an exchange of ideas and a place where any teacher can go and get a great idea for an activity or tangible simulation of what Native American culture must have been like whether through leather painting, board games, or recipes.

8. [|The Learning Page] “The Learning Page: The People…Native Americans” It includes primary sources, chats, presentations, library examples, PowerPoints, pictures, graphs, and anything imaginable about the Native American culture. There are cybercasts, lesson plans, connection sites, and bibliographies of Native American culture and how to apply it to your classroom.
