Contextual Readings
Native Voices by Colin Calloway is your primary text for this course.

This week and next week we explore Native American prehistory. You should begin to read Calloway Chapter 1 (pg 1-35) which gives a brief over view of Native American prehistory. You should also begin Webquest 1 to turn in next Tuesday. We'll talk about:
 * chronology (check out these [|movies] to see how particular artifacts associate with different time periods - make sure you have your timeline first!)
 * cultural areas/geography (Check out this [|link], but note this one will differ from others:
 * cultural periods (try [|Ohio] for some info)
 * major developments - see what you can find!
 * important archaeological sites (above sites for Ohio might be a good start)
 * relationships of prehistoric populations to modern Native American populations (try a google search of 'direct historical approach')
