Valley Nisenan People of California

After this research project you will have an understanding of how the California Nisenan Indians lived. You will be able to explain in writing or orally where they lived to include location and climate.  You will be able to demonstrate to the class by writing, orally, or in drawings what the housing was like, how they hunted, what they ate, how they made food and clothing and what their tools were and how they were made. You will be able to tell the class about the language and say a few words in the Nisenan language (or have it written down do demonstrate on the board).

It is important to learn about the California Nisenan Indians because they were a part of California history. You will be able to report back to your fellow classmates and tell them how current tribe members get together and have activities today.
