Introduction: North Carolina Natives Past
Hi kids! My name is Ashwin. It means strong horse in my native language. I will be your guide.

Throughout this presentation you will have the opportunity to explore each subject in more detail by clicking the hyperlinks.

The Algonkian peoples lived along the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Fear River
Basin. Some well known tribes were the Croatoans and the Chowans. However, they were some of the first tribes to die off. Many of them combined with other groups to form the Lumbee group. How are the Lumbee different from the other
groups? Why is the word Croatoan famous? Click the picture to learn more.

Myths and Legends
Click the picture of the wolf to take you to a website and choose one of the
myths or legends. Once you finish reading, complete a
journal entry in the first person talking about your legend. Make sure you get into character and include emotions,
feelings, and thoughts. Once you are finished with that,
illustrate a scene from your legend or myth on a blank piece of paper. Be
sure to include details from the presentation from the different
language groups.

Myths and legends are a huge part of Native
American culture. They help explain how normal things such as fire came to be. They often include
animals in their storytelling.

Teacher Information
This presentation is designed for fourth grade students as an introduction into Native Americans and is more of a self
guided assignment. It introduces a few of the more well known Native American
nations and allows the students to learn at their own pace while learning to navigate
through websites for pertinent information. The first activity is more of a mindless
mental break to allow the students to be creative. The second activity challenges the student to apply what they have learned in a meaningful manner in both journal entry and illustration. The final product could in theory be a classroom book with all illustrations and
stories laminated into one book.

Since this is an introductory lesson itcould begin with a general discussionwith what the students know of NativeAmericans, particularly with ones who
are aboriginal to the North Carolinaarea itself.
Modifications and Objectives
Modifications: This is more of a self paced presentation however, for those students who are ESL or have a more difficult time with reading comprehension, modifications can be made. This
presentation could span two or more class periods. If time is a constraint, partnering up could be another option. Also, using one of the related books as opposed to picking their own myth or
legend can be used as a classroom wide activity.
