Recommendation:

The section on tribes and history are organized for easy viewing for elementary students. The Stereotypes section was not functioning at the time of this review. From the information about it, it appears to be an interesting and thought provoking component of the site. Teachers can create their own stereotype study, gleaning ideas from the mentions of this section. The activities are puzzles and games that do not promote much thinking about the content.

Description:

First Americans is a site for grade school students and teachers about the Dine, Muscogee, Tlingit, Lakota and Iroquois Native Americans. The site is organized into four sections: Tribes, History, Activities and Stereotypes. There is also a section for teachers with additional links, ideas and ways to share student ideas and work.

Possible uses:

Classes studying Native Americans can use this site as a group to view and share ideas about a particular tribe. Students can also use this site for individual research. Find additional links to other sites for further research and reference.
