What children learn in Level 26
- Why did some nations build permanent villages, while others moved from place to place? Follow the food!
- Farmers had to stay near their fields to plant, weed, and harvest. So the Hopi, the Haudenosaunee, and the Cherokee lived in villages and towns.
- The Northwest didn't farm, but so many salmon swam up the rivers each year that food came to the people. They built villages too.
- Bison herds and caribou move. Many Plains and Arctic peoples moved with them, carrying homes like tipis.
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies:
- SS3G3.a — Explain why American Indian groups occupied the areas they did (SS3H1a), with emphasis on why some developed permanent villages and others did not.
