Iroquois Indians

Last month in Social Studies 4L became the Iroquois Confederacy. Students were assigned roles in each of the Eastern Woodlands tribes. Each tribe had a clan mother, council leader, respected elder, and village member. The children were given Native American names and made headpieces. We also created artifacts and had to tell where and when they were found. We held a council meeting around a fire where students were challenged to make difficult decisions. At this time they also shared lessons and history through storytelling.
