=== This field trip is designed to build cultural competency by allowing students to see and experience the Native American lifestyle, history, and nature appreciation. Students will have been learning about these topics prior to the field trip but the experience will allow them to build on prior knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of basic textbook material. === === The day after the trip, students will process what they saw at the camp by writing a journal, reflecting on how their lives are different than those of the Native Americans and discuss the different roles that plants and animals play in their lives today versus in past history. These journals will be both evaluated by the teacher and act as a discussion starter for classroom discussion. ===
