Ohio Native American Indians

Text books often leave students with an incomplete picture of history - both visually and information-wise. My slideshow on Ohio Native American Indians can fill the gap as either an introduction to Native Americans, an expansion to what’s in the text book, or a review when you want to wind up your studies on this part of Ohio history. The unit includes 31 slides and 12 pages of detailed script.

The first two-thirds of the slide show focus on Native American history and daily life, including:

• Paleo-Indian Period

• Archaic-Indian Period

• Woodland Period

• Mound Building

• Adena Culture

• Hopewell Culture

• Fort Ancient Culture

• Historic Tribes of the 1700s

• Clothing and body adornment

• Homes such as wigwams and longhouses

• Hunting, gathering, fishing and agriculture

• Transportation and trade

The last third of the slide show focuses on what happened to Native Americans when they clashed with colonial settlers and includes:

• The French and Indian War

• Battles at Forts Duquesne, Necessity and Pitt

• Pontiac’s Rebellion

• Outcome of the conflict between Native Americans and whites

• Proclamation of 1763

The slideshow is available as both an Apple Keynote and a Microsoft PowerPoint, and the script is available as a PDF.
