Third graders fix three region mix-ups in Part A: Southwest tribes farming corn and beans (not fishing salmon), the Iroquois forming a confederacy with five other nations, and Northwest Coast tribes building cedar plank houses (not adobe). Part B fills in Navajo rug weaving, oral storytelling tradition, Inuit dog sleds, and buffalo hides used for Plains blankets. Part C decides true-or-false statements about tribes living differently and the Northwest Coast's fish and tall trees.
Sorting which tribe lived where is the building block for everything that comes next in Grade 3 social studies.
