  Student Activities: South Carolina Standards
American Indian Heritage Month started out at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions made to our society by the first Americans. Using SIRS Researcher, assign students to research and report on a variety of subtopics that relate to American Indians.



What are some of the unique economic and cultural experiences of Native Americans? What is the most important contribution of Native Americans and why? What are some indicators of progress for Native Americans since the Civil Rights laws of the 1960s? Tap into SIRS Discoverer to answer these essential questions.
