Here are the teacher pack items for Nomadic Tribes: Lipan Apache, Karankawa, and Comanche:
Overview In this experience, students imagine what their lives would be like if they belonged to a nomadic people. Then they learn about the Lipan Apache and Karankawa tribes and their cultural regions, creating charts to display the information. Finally they analyze how the arrival of the Comanche into Texas led to the relocation of other tribes. If you have access to leveled readers about Apache, Karankawa, or Comanche tribes, assign them to the students in parallel to this experience. Estimated duration: 35-45 minutes Vocabulary words: Objective
Some Native peoples were nomadic, which means they moved from place to place instead of living in one fixed settlement all year. In this lesson, you will learn about three Native groups whose homelands included parts of Texas or who moved through parts of Texas during the year: the Lipan Apache, the Karankawa, and the Comanche.
Objective
Some of the major Indian tribes in Texas
Imagine that you belong to a modern nomadic people. You travel across the Plains from North Dakota all the way down to Texas, following the warm weather and opportunities to hunt. How do you feel about always being on the move with no permanent address? What might the positives be? What might the negatives be?
Write a few sentences describing your life.
Make sure that students understand that this is an imaginary scenario and there is no right or wrong answer.
