  • Third Grade Michigans Changing Inhabitants Lesson 1 Title: Why Do People Move? Unit of Study: Third Grade Michigans Changing Inhabitants GLCEs:

    G4.0.2 Describe diverse groups that have come into a region of Michigan and reasons why they came. G4.0.3 Describe some of the current movements of goods, people, jobs or information to, from, or within Michigan and explain reasons for the movements.

    Abstract: Students will brainstorm a list of reasons as to why people move from one region to

    another. The class will discuss the reasons Native Americans, European Settlers and people today move throughout Michigan.

    Key Concepts: Migration, Native Americans, Europeans, Inhabitants, Natural Resources Sequence of Activities: (This lesson will take approximately 30 minutes.)

    1. Think-Pair-Discuss reasons why people move or have moved in and out of Michigan, past and present.

    a. Students will write their ideas on post-it notes for two minutes, share with a partner for one, followed by a whole class share-out. The class will come up with a way to manipulate the post-it notes into categories of reasons why people move (shelter, food etc).

    b. Teacher will create a master list of reasons why people move to display in the classroom for a future reference. (Some reasons are natural disaster, war, to get a better job, to get a better education, to get a larger home for family, to take care of an elderly family member, to get a nicer home/move into a nicer neighborhood).

    2. Describe the different reasons that different groups of people have and still move to

    Michigan. Introduce these groups: Anishnaabeg, European Explorers, European Settlers.

    3. (Optional) Read aloud: A River Ran Wild by Lynne Cherry. Discuss the different

    groups of people (Native Americans, Trader/Explorer, Settlers) that moved in and out of this community.

    G4.0.4 Use data and current information about the Anishinaabeg and other American Indians living in Michigan today to describe the cultural aspects of modern American Indian life; give an example of how another cultural group in Michigan today has preserved and built upon its cultural heritage. H3.0.4 Draw upon traditional stories of American Indians (eg. Anishinaabeg- Ojibway (Chippewa), Odawa (Ottawa), Potawatomi; Menominee Huron Indians) who lived in Michigan in order to make generalizations about their beliefs. 4-H3.0.4 Draw upon stories, photos, artifacts, and other primary sources to compare the life of people in towns and cities in Michigan and in the Great Lakes region during a variety of times periods from 1837 to the present.

    Abstract: The students will compare and contrast Native Americans from today and in the past through literature and classroom discussion.

    Key Concepts: Native Americans, culture, past, present, misconception Sequence of Activities: (approximately 30 minutes)

    1. Write down the words: Native American. Ask students what they know about this term and the people it represents. Create a T-chart on the whiteboard/chart paper. Label the sides Our Ideas about Native Americans Today and New Truths and Information about Native Americans Today. List student responses for initial ideas about these terms (column 2 will be filled in later).

    2. Have students draw two pictures. One of a Native American 200 years ago and one of what they think a Native American would look like today. Share and add their observations about the Native American pictures to their initial responses on the chart paper.

    3. After students have shared their preconceptions of Native Americans, share a variety of photographs, video clips and books about Native Americans today. Discuss findings and address student misconceptions.

    4. Complete column two of the classroom T-chart New Truths and Information about Native Americans Today.

    5. Students will choose at least four ideas from the New Truths section of the T-chart to write a paragraph, explaining the misconceptions/new ideas they learned.

  • Third Grade Michigans Changing Inhabitants Lesson 3 Title: Anishnaabeg and Three Fires Unit of Study: Third Grade Michigans Changing Inhabitants GLCEs:

    H3.0.5 (Intro)Use informational text and visual data to compare how American Indians and settlers in the early history of Michigan adapted to, used, and modified their environment. H3.0.10 (Continuation) Create a timeline to sequence early Michigan history (American Indians, exploration, settlement, statehood).

    Abstract: Students will learn that the Anishnaabeg were the first people to live in Michigan. They later were known as The Three Fires. They will create a map that shows where the tribes of the Three Fires were located.

    Key Concepts: Three Fires, Anishnaabeg, Potawatomi, Ojibwa, Ottawa, Migrate Sequence of Activities: (This lesson takes approximately two 30 minute periods.)

    1. You should have created a classroom timeline in the first unit. Add the Anishnaabeg. (Time line may already include:

    12,000 9,000 years ago Paleo-Indians (They hunt caribou, mammoths, and mastodon)

    9,000-3,000 years ago Archaic Indians (They learned hunting and gathering skills.)

    3,000 years ago to 1600s Woodland Indians (They used nets, farmed, and built burial mounds. These are the Hopewell Indians)

    1600 Present Anishnaabeg - Three Fires (Potawatomi, Ojibwa, and Ottawa) 2. Discuss the Anishnaabeg and let students know that Anishnaabeg means first people 3. Also let the students know that the first people to live in Michigan were known as the

    Three Fires. Share the names Potawatomi, Ojibwa, and Ottawa with the students. 4. Show the United Streaming video: Native American: The 1st Peoples (show first two

    segments approximately 4 minutes) 5. Have students look at a map of Michigan and ask them to make a prediction about where

    the tribes of the Three Fires lived (they should make the connection from the previous lesson that the first people settled near the water.)

    6. Give them each a blank map of Michigan and guide them through the process of shading in the areas where the three different tribes lived. There is a map to follow on the first page of The Mitten: The Three Fires. http://www.michiganhistorymagazine.com/kids/pdfs/mitten02.pdf

    a. Potawatomi (approximately- from what is now Saginaw to the Indiana state line) b. Ottawa (approximately all along the west coast from where Lake Michigan

    and Huron meet following Lake Michigan south to the Grand Rapids area) c. Ojibwa (approximately the Upper Peninsula and along Lake Huron to the

    Saginaw area) 7. Make sure the students include a Map Key and a Compass Rose on their map.

  • The three tribes mostcommonly associatedwith Michigan arethe Ojibway (Chippewa), theOdawa (Ottawa) and thePotawatomi. These threetribes were like members ofa family. The Ojibway werethe older brothers. TheOdawa were the next bornand the Potawatomi werethe younger brothers.These three tribes formed theThree Fires Confederacy, alsoknown as the Anishinabek. A confederacy is a loose-knitalliance that promotes common interests.

    Ojibway means to roast til puckered up anddescribes the unique style of moccasins these NativeAmericans wore. The Ojibway,a tribe of around 30,000 peo-ple, lived along the southernshores of Lake Superior andwestern Lake Huron. TheOjibway were excellenthunters and fishermen.

    Odawa means to trade.The Odawa were skilled

    traders. They also made excel-lent bark canoes that helpedthem trade all over NorthAmerica. The Odawa livedalong the eastern shores ofLake Michigan. When the

    French arrived in the GreatLakes the Odawa had around3,000 people.

    The Potawatomi werecalled the people of the placeof the fire. They were someof Michigans earliest farm-ers. The Potawatomi grew

    squash, corn, melons, beansand tobacco. Their villageswere larger and more perma-nent than those of theOjibway and Odawa. Therewere about 4,000 Pota-watomi living in Michiganduring the mid-1600s.

  • In the mid-1600s,nine NativeAmerican tribeslived in the Great Lakesarea. They totaledaround 100,000 people.The largest tribe was theHuron, who lived in theregion between LakesErie, Ontario and Huron.Tribes living in the area thatis now Michigan included theThree Fires: the Ojibway, theOdawa and the Potawatomi.Other area tribes were theMenominee, the Sac (alsoSauk), the Fox, theWinnebago and the Miami.

    Each tribe was different, but they allshared three beliefs: 1)Spirits were more pow-erful than men; 2)Naturethe land, animals and plantsbelonged to everyoneand 3) No one had theright to run another persons life.

    Everyone living in anIndian village worked.Women and girls did mostof the chores. They tanned(softened) animal skins, wovefishnets, chopped wood, grewcrops and cooked. Men andboys hunted and fished. Theymade bows and arrows, traps,wooden tools and canoes.

    Unlike Native Americanswho lived on the GreatPlains, Michigan Native

    Americans did not live intepees. Most lived in dome-shaped houses called wig-wams. Saplings were stuckinto the ground and tiedtogether to create a frame.Sheets of bark taken fromlarge trees were placed overthe saplings. When a family

    moved to a newplace, they rolledup the bark cover-ing and took it withthem. They left thesapling framework behind.

    Michigan Indiansobtained food in many ways.From the forests and lakesthey gathered berries, nutsand wild rice. They grew

    corn, beans andsquash in gardens.They also hunted.Men and boys usedtraps and snares, aswell as bows andarrows, to take bear, moose, deer,wolf and fox.

    Michigan Native Ameri-cans did not wear featheredheaddresses. They wore theirhair long. Sometimes theybraided their hair. In thesummer, Native Americanswore only a breechclothand moccasins. During cold

    weather both menand women worefur hats, moc-casins, leggingsand shirts.Women also woreknee-length deer-skin skirts.

    Today, manyplaces in Michi-gan have NativeAmericannames. The

    word Michigancomes from anIndian language.Michi meansgreat; ganemeans lake or

    water. But Native Americansgave Michigan more thannames. They taughtMichigans first white peoplehow to live in the wilderness,make canoes and hunt.

    The birch-bark canoe

    was a remarkable

    invention. The canoe

    was strong, water-

    proof and lightweight.

    The people of the ThreeFires had many storiesabout how the worldwas created by the

    Great Manitou, or GreatSpirit. One of the stories isabout how North and SouthManitou Islands and SleepingBear Dunes were made.

    A mother bear and hertwo cubs lived peacefully onthe western shore of LakeMichigan. They ate berriesand fish and drank from the

    lake. The mother beartaught her cubs to bethankful to the GreatManitou for all things.

    One summer nightthere was a big thunder-storm. Lightning set theforest on fire. The motherbear gathered her cubs andjumped into the lake to escapethe flames. All through thenight they swam toward thedistant shore, away from thefire. The cubs grew tired.

    First, the younger onesank beneath thewaves, then the older

    cub disappeared. The mother

    bear could notsave them. Shemade it to

    shore and fellinto a deep sleep

    on the beach. As she

    slept, the Great Manitou whis-pered to her. Because youalways remembered me withthanks, I will take you to theLand of the Spirits. Your cubsare already there.

    The Great Manitou creat-ed two islands to honor thebrave bear cubs. He calledthem North and SouthManitou Islands. The GreatManitou then covered themother bear with a blanket ofwhite sand. Today she restsunder Sleeping Bear Dunes.

    1. Ask students, What is a natural resource? List responses on the board. (Natural resource: noun: A material source of wealth, such as timber, fresh water,

    or a mineral deposit, that occurs in a natural state and has economic value. Man made: adjective: produced, formed, or made by humans, produced

    artificially; not resulting from natural processes.) 2. Discuss the differences between natural resources and manmade resource 3. Using the collection of items from day one, the students will sort those items into 2

    piles, one of natural resources and one of manmade resources. The teacher will provide 2 colors of sticky notes. The first color will be used to identify if a certain object helped the Native Americans to adapt to their environment. If so, the students will explain how on that first color of sticky note, placing the notes beside each item referenced.

  • Father Marquette and the Jesuit Missionaries in

    Michigan

    http://www.ssc.msu.edu/~anp/marquettemission/Jesuits.html

  • What is a missionary?

    A Priest or other member of a churchSomeone who wants to spread religion to other parts of the worldIn Michigan in the 1600 and 1700s, it was someone who wanted to teach the Native Americans about Christianity

  • Where did they come from?

    The Missionaries who came to Michigan in the early 1700s were from France.

  • Why did they come?

    Most missionaries came to Michigan to teach the Native Americans about Christianity.They believed that the Native Americans needed help. The Native Americans believed in many gods and that was not what the priests thought.

  • Why were they important?

    They sent letters back to their church leaders describing what they saw.Some drew maps to document the way the land looked to them.They believed that the fur traders should not use alcohol to make better trades. They spoke out against this behavior.

  • Sending letters homeThe Jesuit Superiors in France used letters that the missionaries wrote to

    them to report to people what life was life here in Michigan. In one report, they talk about the difficulties facing the missionaries here.

    At the Sault, the Fathers are, cultivating the soil and some of the Indians have even begun to imitate their example. In their Chapel, they regularly give instruction both to adults and children, and celebrate the rites of the Church; The greatest obstacle in their way is the devotion paid by the savages to their personal manitous, or medicine, a devotion inculcated, from earliest infancy, in both boys and girls. Notwithstanding, this: and other difficulties, the missionaries at the Sault have baptized more than three hundred persons of all ages.

    The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents Volume 54

  • Map MakingBecause of his

    knowledge of Native American languages, Marquette was chosen to do do some exploring with Louis Jolliet. On his travels he created this map of the Michigan/Wisconsin area.

  • Speaking out against alcohol

    Our Father, we ask thee to take steps to prevent them from giving us intoxicating liquor as eagerly as they do. To thus deceive us by urging us to drink, in order to make us spend in this way all that we bring back from our hunt, is just the same as if they robbed us. I repeat, as nearly as I can in our language, the expressions used by our Savages when they state their opinion to me respecting liquor.Herefore, to show them that I speak the truth on this point, as soon as 1 learn that some wretched frenchman has taken the clothing of a savage, giving him perhaps twenty ~01s worth of liquor for clothes worth from ten to twelve francs, I make a great stir in the village. I say that I will certainly have the clothes given back, but that it is also necessary that the savage who has been foolish enough to give his clothing for almost nothing, to obtain liquor, must atone for his sin. Father Jacques Bigot Oct. 1684

    The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents Volume 63

  • What did the Native Americans think?

    The Native Americans called the priests Black Robes because of the clothes that they always wore.Not all of the Native Americans were happy to have people come and tell them to give up their way of life.

  • Who is Father Marquette?

    He was a Jesuit priest from France.He studied the Native American languages.He began the settlements in Sault Ste. Marie and St. IgnaceHe used his knowledge about languages to help Louis Jolliet explore the Mississippi River.
