My activity uses deductive reasoning. In my public domain search I found these images while looking for Native American clothing. I would use these images with the class to decide what Native American Tribes we like based on their clothing. Students should be able to use what they already know about Native American supplies to help make inferences based on the pictures provided.
- What kind of materials did the tribe have access to?
- When do you think these clothing items would be worn?
- How are they different from the clothing you wear?
