"At The Orchard School in Indianapolis, Indiana, second grade students study Native Americans. Each classroom has a different region on which to focus. The regions include Southwest, Plains, and Northwest. One of the schools goals is to get a historical as well as current day perspective on Native Americans. The children read fiction and nonfiction material, study patterns, geometry and time (looking into Native American art, family life, decorations, etc.). Project work includes constructing pueblos, hogans, and tools, writing poetry, legends, reports, and designing HyperStudio projects. "
