    Buffalo Hides Lesson Plan

    Multicultural Lesson Plans


    Review of Native American Indian Culture. 2000 years ago, the Anasazi Indians
    inhabited the cliffs of the Southwest. They were the ancestors of the Pueblo Indians
    who live there today. There are 20 pueblo villages left; at one time there were 200!
    These ancient villages are built from adobe bricks. These natural homes are warm in
    winter and cool in summer; it rarely rains in the Southwest, so they won't melt.
    The Anasazi Indians left Petroglyph drawings on rocks and cliffs. Some were chiseled
    into the rock with animal antlers, some were etched with the acid juices from cactus
    plants. They are pictures of Indian symbols. Symbols are pictures drawn very simply
    of things in nature, such as animals, plants, stars, people, etc.
    The Indians were very spiritual people. They respected the earth, never wasted
    resources, and were ingenious at using the things in nature around them.
