California Native Americans. California Native Americans - Lifestyle (Way of Living)The climate, land and natural resources that were available to the Indian tribes resulted in the adoption of the California Native Americans culture.

This is a great source of reading to accompany the textbook. It has clear illustrations, information about the lifestyle of the California Native Americans. The length is about two pages enough to read in class followed by class discussion. – usfstudent2018

It will be easy to differentiate using this kind of text where some students can express themselves through illustrations, others poem or song and yet others can create a prezi or power point and even others can dress up using help from the illustration in the book and act out a recorded short skit using information from the text. – lizabrobbey

We know from John Grass and Charger (published in Dorsey 1897 p. 219-220) that Kill Eagle's band was known as Wajaje (not to be confused with the Brule/Oglala tiyospaye by the same name). Part of the Wajaje Sihasapa had remained at the Standing Rock Agency in 1876 while part were out hunting with Kill Eagle. But I do not know the name of Crawler's band.
