**Essential Question**: What is the relationship between each tribe's culture and their environment? How does American Indian Culture affect Utah today?

**Activities**:
 * American Indian Tribe Group Project
 * Students are divided into groups of 3-6 depending on the size of your classes.
 * You need to assign students to one of the five historic tribes of Utah. If you have a large class, you may need to have more than one group for each tribe.
 * Groups will need access to computers.
 * Below you will find attachments that include: American Indian Tribe Project Requirements, American Indian Tribe Project Research Sheet, American Indian Tribe Notes and a rubric to grade the project.
 * //__American Indian Tribe Project Worksheet__//: This explains the requirements for the project.
 * //__American Indian Tribe Research Sheet__//: This is to be filled out by each student. It is all of the information they will use for their project. They get the information from the textbook. The pages are listed on the worksheet.
 * //__American Indian Tribe Notes__//: While students are listening to other groups present, they will be taking notes on this page. Each group will be creating a powerpoint so the students will copy the notes from there.
