Lessons
Classroom Resource
Conflicts between Native Americans and whites were often rooted in geography. Introduce students to the concept of trails through the West, and have them think about who used these trails and how settlers and Native Americans might have interacted on them. The teacher can provide examples of actual National Historic Trails, using the National Park Service’s online resources. Then explain that students will create their own National Historic Trail.
The teacher should first decide if the trail should include only events in Chief Joseph’s life or include other westward expansion events and interactions between Native Americans and whites. Next, create a list of locations or regions that are important in telling this story, or have students make their own list.
Each student should select a location or region from the list and have him or her create a guide to that “stop” on the trail. Projects could take the form of a visitor’s brochure, interpretive sign, slideshow, or Web site. Students should include at least three of the following components in their guide:
