Text Box: Assignment: Record your answers on your Native American worksheet. Look at the first and second map. In the first column list the Native American tribes that are listed on the first map. Then in the second column list the tribes from the second map. Compare the two columns. What differences do you see between the two columns? Why do you think there was a difference in the number of tribes from the first map to the second map? Hint: Take notice of the dates when the maps were designed. Why do you think that the tribes settled near waterways? Photo of Native Americans
