the History & Culture of the First Americans

Kim Kavin

Tools of Native Americans explores how the first Americans, faced with varying climates and a land never before conquered by human beings, developed everything we take for granted today: food supplies, shelter, religion, games, jewelry, social strata, and more. Fifteen hands-on activities illuminate how the Native Americans learned to survive and thrive by creating tools, culture, and a society based on their immediate environment.

1. The Algonquian language gave us more than 100 words we still use today, including hickory, moose, totem, and woodchuck. 2. During the salmon run in the Pacific Northwest, tribes caught so much fish that women had to boil them in dugout canoes. 3. Igloos were made by Inuits as temporary homes during seal-hunting season, and they took 
about an hour to build.
