As the archeologist, you will need to research the artifacts that tell us about how your tribe used tools, toys, musical instruments, or other ceremonial pieces in their lives. You must have pictures and/or a model along your presentation.
There are many site here to check out. Make sure you have enough information, relics, and pictures for your presentation. YOU are responsible for giving us the basic overview of the tribe. If you find something in another person's report that doesn't not match what you have, you BOTH need to go back and check your information.
Some general information from a fourth grade project can get you started. Go to the Central Valley portion of the site (at the top) and click on your subject http://www.cuca.k12.ca.us/la/tribes.html .
