Introduction: Before European exploration into North America, several great civilizations existed with their own distinct culture and customs. We refer to these peoples as Native Americans. To gain knowledge of these peoples, you will perform a series of Web Quest activities. These activities will increase your understanding of the influence and effect that Native Americans have on our culture.

Procedures: These web quest activities can be performed by a group or an individual. They will involve accessing several web sites. Go to these web sites and find the information that will help you complete your web quest activities.

Web Quest Activities:

Activity I. Native American Artifacts

Activity II. Native American Structures

Activity III. Native American Migration

Activity IV. Native American Food Sources
