Compelling question

What does the Oceti Sakowin land base and environment Include?

SS 9-12.G.1.1 Use maps and other geographic representations, tools and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective

Staging the question

How did the Oceti Sakowin know where their land base (makoce) boundaries are? How did they carry out their stewardship of this land base and environment? Use primary and secondary sources to examine, compare and contrast the diversity of the Oceti Sakowin land base and environment and the authenticity of these sources.
