Social Studies
Since Time Immemorial: Tribal Sovereignty in Washington State
An inquiry based approach with five essential questions:
1. How does physical geography affect the distribution, culture, and economic life of local tribes?
2. What is the legal status of tribes who negotiated or who did not negotiate a settlement for compensation for the loss of their sovereign homelands?
3. What were the political, economic, and cultural forces consequential to the treaties that led to the movement of tribes from long established homelands to reservations?
4. What are ways in which Tribes respond to the threats and outside pressure to extinguish their cultures and independence?
5. What do local Tribes do to meet the challenges of reservation life; and as sovereign nations, what do local Tribes do to meet the economic and cultural needs of their Tribal communities?
Presenter(s): Nathan Lee
