CKLA Knowledge 

 Our new unit focuses on  Native Americans.  The Native Americans domain introduces students to the broad concept that indigenous people lived on the continents of North and South America long before European explorers colonized and settled this area. Students will learn that there were many different tribes of Native Americans, and that each tribe had its own way of eating, dressing, and living, depending on where it lived. Students will learn about three tribes in depth: the Lakota Sioux of the Great Plains region, and the Wampanoag and the Lenape, both of the Eastern Woodlands region. They will learn how different geographical locations influenced lifestyles, and that each Native American group has its own distinct culture.
