2. Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] It is the year 1856 and your tribe has been living on the Great Plains peacefully for over a hundred years. A congressman from the U.S. government has come to your tribe with a proposition. He wants to take your land to provide homes for settlers and place your tribe on a reservation. On the reservation your tribe will be provided housing, clothes, food, health care, and education by the U.S. government. Your tribe must form a council consisting of the chief, medicine man, elders, and warriors to discuss whether to agree to the proposition and sign the treaty, or refuse it entirely. However, if your tribe refuses the treaty there is the risk of the cavalry forcibly moving you from your land. The role of the squaw will also be involved with the tribal council as the wife of a warrior. Your tribe has noticed an increased amount of white settlers moving onto the land and the number of buffalo has diminished greatly. There has also been communication from other tribes that the government has not been faithful with their promises.

Student Page Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] For this webquest, it will be your job to research your role as the chief, medicine man, warrior, elder, or squaw and discover the function they had within your tribe. Also you must gather information about the culture and history of your tribe. This preparation will be used for the tribal council meeting, which your tribe will simulate in front of the class. During the simulation, every member of the council will be given a chance to speak their opinion on the situation. The purpose of the meeting is whether or not your tribe should sign the treaty with the government. Title

10. [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This webquest was a collaborative effort by the history teachers of Fort Collins High School and it will be used in every U.S. History class. It was designed to educate students Native American culture and understand the view point of a Native American on western expansion. For this project the class will be divided into groups and each group will be assigned a tribe of the Great Plains. Then each member of the group will be given one of the following roles within the tribe: chief, medicine man, elder, warrior, and squaw. The groups will be given a scenario, then the students will research their role. After the students have a thorough understanding of their role, each group will come together for the final part of the project which is a simulated tribal council meeting in front of the class. When completing this webquest, the students will use the internet and other resources to gather information on their role. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

17. [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This webquest is useful for students for a variety of reasons. The students will enhance their researching and analytical skills as they do an in-depth study of their role and the culture of their tribe. Working in groups will allow the students to improve their social and communication abilities, which will be a useful tool for them in the future. Also, this project will provide an opportunity for the more artistic students to display their creativity. Upon completion of this webquest, the students should have developed a deeper understanding of the history and culture of their tribe. Through the role playing, they should have gained more insight into the Native American’s perspective on the expansion of the white settlers. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion
