This document provides instructions for a lesson on the Native Americans who settled North America and North Carolina. Students are asked to read about the five largest Native American groups in North Carolina and how many Native Americans lived in the present-day state. They then work with peers to answer questions about why Europeans may have been shocked by Native Americans' appearance and reasons why Native Americans found European arrival threatening. Finally, students are to write a four sentence summary answering who settled the Americas and North Carolina, and what culture Native Americans developed to survive.
