Task 1:
For many years, Indians were the only people living here. Each group continued to develop its own way of life. Some people believe that over time, the Fremont people (who you studied earlier in the year) became part of other Indian groups. We call these groups historic Indians because we have histories or written records about their lives.
Throughout the years, several historic Indian groups, or tribes have lived in Colorado. Utes, Shoshones, Pawnees, Apaches, Kiowa, and Comanches lived here long ago. Later, Utes continued to live in the region, as did Cheyennes and Arapahos. We will learn about these three tribes that lived in the region the longest.
In this task, you will print out the notes guide and write down any important or interesting information. You will use the guide to write your paper.
