Suggested Teaching Instructions

There are enough documents included that they could be divided up so just a few documents are considered in small groups who then provide summaries to the rest of the class. The themes are similar enough that general summaries could get the idea across without every student reading every document.

Description

This activity is designed to expose students to the history of relations with Native Americans just as the United States gains independence from Britain. This is a topic often glossed over with Native Americans becoming a focus more later on. This becomes a starting point for considering continuity and change as we move through the 1800s.
