Discuss the cause and effect relationship of tipping over the water. Watch Brainpop Jr. Video Introduce the idea that some effects are not easily remedied (for example, how early settlers almost wiped out the buffalo population). Read the information from the SD 4 History website on life as an early settler to find out what life was like, and the reasons people came to this area. Watch an elder interview: “Connections to Land and People” to help understand how people make connections to the land and people around them. Watch another elder interview: “Stewardship of the Land” to gain perspective of how the Oceti Sakowin people think about “ownership” of the land. Take notes on the cause and effect relationships mentioned on the SD 4 History website, and how they impacted the Native Americans.
