"Decided to use this in November to help students better understand indigenous populations in the U.S. Students were highly engaged through all research and creating their flipbook. Great resource."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"This was our first research project. Each student chose a different group to research. The guidelines were perfect. They took notes first andthen copied onto the pages. They learned how to find answers through the index. When they were finished, we put each student's pages into a folder with brads and they decorated the cover with art relevent to the tribe they studied. They were happy with the results and asked to do another research project right away!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"This was a great way to introduce my third graders to Indigenous People's Day in a culturally responsive way!"
