The purpose of this blog is to keep myself organized as well as to help anyone else out there who is struggling with teaching California's history with out a good curriculum. I want my son to really have a firm understanding of our state and how we came to be here. I don't want the same old boring history and complicated projects that are beyond his grasp. I want this to be a year of exploring and hands on learning. Let's not just read about it - let's go see it! Let's live it!

Lesson 6 Southern Region
For the Southern Region we studied the Chumash Indians. We read the book “The Library of Native Americans ‘The Chumash of California’” by Jack S. Williams. It is part of the same series that we have used all along. There are a lot of books available to choose from for this tribe. They are quite interesting and you could really spend some time here if you wanted to. We filled out the note paper as we read, just like the other tribes.
