November is Native American Heritage Month in the United States, first designated in 1990. It honors the histories, cultures, and contributions of Native peoples. Today there are more than 570 federally recognized tribal nations, each with its own government, language, and traditions.
This word search covers key ideas and contributions: tribal SOVEREIGNTY and the meaning of a NATION, gatherings like the POWWOW and the REGALIA worn there, the LONGHOUSE, the CODETALKERS of the World Wars, and SEQUOYAH, who created the Cherokee SYLLABARY.
Use this word search to start learning about the Native nations whose homelands include your school's area. Students can research one nation's history and present how it continues today, avoiding the idea that Native peoples exist only in the past.
