  • The Chumash - California Coastal Region

  • The Hopi - Southwestern Desert Region

  • The Blackfeet - Northern Plains

  • The Comanche - Southern Plains

  • Cherokee - Southeast (Mountains)

  • Ojibwa - Eastern Woodlands / Great Lakes Area


What tribe are you studying? What is an interesting fact your have already learned? What do you still wonder about?
