Human and Environment 

 

 

Interaction between NW Coast Natives and their environment 

 

 

PRINT RESOURCES: NON-FICTION

 

     Books on Northwest Native Americans

 

Chinook, Suzanne Morgan Williams

http://tinyurl.com/pncos8

Has information on daily life, clothes, tools, transportation.  From a series you might consider purchasing.

 

Indian fishing : early methods on the Northwest Coast, Hilary Stewart

http://tinyurl.com/r22swt

An adult book, but might have good pictures of fishing techniques they used.

 

Indians of the Northwest : traditions, history, legends, and life, Petra Press

http://tinyurl.com/oapt8o

Pre-contact history, culture and environment of NW Native Americans

 

Houses of Wood: Native Dwellings: The Northwest Coast, Bonnie Shemie

http://www.amazon.com/Houses-Wood-Dwellings-Northwest-Sagebrush/dp/0785737049/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241471391&sr=1-1

While not available on Amazon, I did check with another bookseller and they had it available.  You might check your sources as it looks like a great book that will support your topic.

 

People of salmon and cedar, Ron Hirschi 

http://tinyurl.com/ptk8gm

History and current day cultures of NW Native Americans.

 

Sea and cedar; how the Northwest coast Indians lived, Lois McConkey 

http://tinyurl.com/ob6vpn

Should have some good text and/or illustrations on how they utilized their environment and its impact on them in terms of beliefs, customs, etc.

 

Nations of the Northwest Coast, Kathryn Smithyman & Bobbie Kalman

http://tinyurl.com/r9adbz

 

Northwest Coast peoples, Lois Markham

http://tinyurl.com/osmt5c

Has information on past and present. From Discovery Kids.

 

The Northwest Indians : daily life in the 1700s, Judy Monroe

http://tinyurl.com/pde39o

 

The Makah, Sharlene and Ted Nelson

http://tinyurl.com/ofphcr

 

     General Geography Books

 

EARTH THEN AND NOW: Amazing Images of Our Changing World,  Fred Pearce

http://www.amazon.com/Earth-Then-Now-Amazing-Changing/dp/1554074215/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243479616&sr=8-1

Outside of your specific lesson plan, but thought you might want to broaden the scope and look at how land/environment has changed since European contact.  Looks like an interesting, visual book.

 

Weather, Brian Cosgrove

http://tinyurl.com/p7b4eb

More titles out there like this, but it should have illustrations of the convection effect that occurs with Cascade range.

 

     Washington Geography Books

 

Salmon story, Brenda Z. Guiberson

http://tinyurl.com/oazxkg

Takes the life cycle of salmon and threats today.  Might work to show how natives are limited in ability to fish today due to lessened salmon runs.

 

Washington, Christine Webster

http://tinyurl.com/oerveq 

Attractive layout with lots of pictures and has basic state information including geography, natural resources etc. Also has maps.

 

The Washington Adventure

http://education.gibbs-smith.com/showproducts.cfm?WPCID=1225

This is a textbook 4th graders, but I think if you had one copy of this or something like it, it would have sections you could use, especially maps or information about regions and environment.  Oversized, lots of color photographs and interesting side-bars. 

 

Whatcom seascapes : the influence of the sea on Whatcom County.

http://tinyurl.com/qpp7qr

This was an exhibition at the Whatcom Museum of History  in 1970 and 1971.  Might have some interesting images.

http://www.amazon.com/Over-Washington-PBS/dp/B001L9EXVQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1242050897&sr=8-1

There might be some pieces here that can show the environment as it is now.  There is a VHS format, older version of this in the WCLS catalogue. 

 

The Pacific Northwest : past, present, and future,  Dale A. Lambert

http://tinyurl.com/ou8h4l

CD Rom about PNW.

There are lots of digital photos here that you could download, laminate and have kids look at for information about native interaction with their environment.  If you wanted to focus on local native tribe such as Nooksack or Lummi or you could stay with the Makah if you end up tying them into your final project. Here are some examples:

GENERAL RESOURCES

 

Facing the Future        

http://www.facingthefuture.org

Gates Foundation funded curriculum "think tank" that designs curriculum for classroom use based on issues of sustainability.  May be good for use with other CBAs. 

 

History Link       

http://www.historylink.org/

A free on-line encyclopedia of Washington State History that is also accessible through the WCLS website.  Has a fantastic database of biographies, photos, slideshows, interactive "cybertours" and essays about the people and places in Washington's history.   Seems better for researching the past 50-100 years or so than the 1800's that we're trying to do.

 

Mt Baker School District: CBA support

You are so lucky to have this and Kim Schwartzman to put it together!
