The Nativetech.org Web site contains a vast array of topics and links, but again, few on Illinois-related topics. Activities include hands-on activities for younger students and topics of interest to teens. Navigation Use the expanding menu in the upper left-hand corner of your screen to proceed through the module, or click on any of the links in the menu. There are no NEXT or BACK buttons on the Web pages, so learning to navigate the menu is important for your students. If links to more detailed information take you out of the Historic Native American or MuseumLink, use the back button of your browser to return to your original page.
Underlined words are glossary entries.
Click on them with your mouse, and a popup window displays the definition. The entire glossary may be printed out for classroom use. Content A description of the Illinois country - land, climate, water, plants, and animals begins the module to introduce the environment in which Illinois Indians lived. The Illinois people are the focus of this module. Text, artifacts, archaeological information, and historical records are used to describe various aspects of their lives.
