| INTRODUCTION |
| Museums are a great place to visit and learn information about the past. Our school is in need of a virtual museum to teach others about Native American cultures. You have been hired as a historian to research information and create the museum. In order to do your job well, you will have to go back in time. You are now living life as a Native American, between the 1500's and 1600's. |
