During week 6 students will identify and compare ways of life of American Indian groups in Texas during the late prehistoric period. Students will also describe ways and identify reasons these groups modified, or changed, their environment and used the natural resources of their regions to survive. It is not enough to know dates and the sequence of events; the meat of analysis is asking and answering the "why" and "how" questions about an event or issue.
