The 4^th graders were learning about the different Native American tribes in Nebraska. They learned that the tribes in Nebraska were either farming or nomadic tribes. The nomadic tribes lived in tipis because they were easier to put up and take down. The farming tribes lived in earth lodges and stayed put. After learning about the different tribes, the students constructed tipis and painted them any way they wanted. No two Native American tipis were the exact same so the students had to come up with something that was special to them and put that on their tipi.
