| Miwok Tribe | |
|
| You are a member of the Miwok tribe. This tribe of people lived by the coast
and mountains and have lived here for thousands of years. What might be some
of the reasons a tribe would want to live by a coast? If you are an elder
in your tribe and you are leading the Miwoks, what would be the benefit of
high mountain areas and coastal plains to make homes?
Think about these questions as you research this amazing tribe and keep your
own room 25 tribe in mind as you decide what are some of the decisions we
make each day in class, and how do they help the whole tribe? | |
