Would those of you who've followed this rabbit trail already be willing to share some of your favorite books and/or activities? My 7 and 5 yr. old watched Pocohantas, and now they want to learn more!

Did you do notebooks and/or lapbooks at this age?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Blessings,
Ginny

There are a few free unit studies at Homeschool Share that relate to Native Americans
Native American Connections

My best friend used these Native American History Pockets with her students and loved them. She had four different ages/grade levels going on and said everyone enjoyed them and learned a lot.

If you check out Tobins Lab, they have a book there called "The Ultimate Lap Book Guide" by Tammy Duby (owner of Tobin's Lab) Besides showing basic how-tos, it also has some pretty cool ideas for a lapbook on Indians. More presentation ideas than content, but nifty ideas, especially for the younger set. I believe they suggested those "History Pockets", too.

Also, if you go to "Search", then search "It's a Great Big WOrld" and type in American Indians in the topic listing, there's a thread on resources for studing Indians that might help.

Another good kids book, "The Story of Blue Jacket" nee Marmaduke van Swearingen. About a frontier boy who willingly joined the Shawnee and rose to prominence as a great war leader. Very good book.
