This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activity 2: If You Lived in a Forest). Learners can add illustrations to the map as they study other cultural regions in subsequent lessons. This activity is featured on p.19 of the "One With the Earth: Native Americans and the Natural World" multidisciplinary unit of study for kindergarten through third grade.
