The project is now up to 15 members. We welcome more, and would especially like to have participants from the southwest, northwest and northern plains area. A few classes have started already, but most are not getting underway until mid-late Novembe…
Hi, I teach 4th grade in Ca and our curr. is heavy into the Native American groups in CA and how they used the environment. I'm new to wikis and want to learn. I also have to see if my district will allow a wiki, they have a strong firewall. So, I'd…
Please make that 13 members. We're located in the Bay Area, Northern California, and would love to participate. I teach 45 eager 4th graders.
After experimenting with both PBworks and wikispaces, I find wikispaces easier to navigate and edit for both teachers and students. So, I have changed the wiki for the project. You can access it here.
We now have about 12 members. More are welcome!

If you are interested in partici…

Welcome aboard Jen! We would love to have you participate in the project. And I don't see why you couldn't still focus on Canadian indigenous culture and lifestyle. As you said, the focus is on the environment's influence on lifestyle, not modern po…
I would love to be a part of this project. I'm up in Canada - a main component of my curriculum is how the geography of a location influenced the Aboriginal culture and lifestyle. I always focus on Canada, but it would be great to extend south to se…
Local Native American history is a fairly common unit in grades 2-4. Some fellow 3rd grade teachers in different states (CT., IL., and southern CA.) thought it would be exciting for our students to share their learning with other classes around the…
