Lesson 8

ArchiveGrid -
Sitting Bull - or Tatanka Iyotake, was a Native American Shaman and leader of the Sioux. He greatly opposed the encroachment of the white man. He led Sioux and Cheyenne warriors at the battle of  Little Bighorn. After the battle, Sitting Bull led his tribe to Canada. He lived there until surrendering to US forces and then toured with Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show. Sitting Bull was killed while performing the ritual Ghost Dance.

I then searched for "Mayflower". (I'm really into the spring and hoping it finds it's way here!) I found 429 results with a lot of them coming from Maine Historical Society, Library of Congress and libraries on the east coast - which would make sense! That is where the Mayflower landed.

I'm excited about this resource as I have tons of History Buffs that are always looking for information! When searching on google or another search engine, you have to weed out so many things that are not relevant. In the couple of searches I made, I was able to find articles immediately that pertained to what I was looking for. Exciting!!

CAMIO -
After searching Paul Revere I found 35 works. Not sure any of them were made by Paul Revere (did I understand the directions correctly??) But, there were paitings and many collectible pieces. This resource would be a antiquers dream!!! They would certainly learn what to look for and if things were collectible!

When searching "Sioux" I found 63 works. Paintings, pictures, artifacts were in the listings. Definately things that I think of when I think of the word "Sioux". The clothing items showed amazing beadwork!!

I searched "Picasso" and found 1,016 items. Most of them were paintings or prints, but also books and sculptures. If you didn't see a Picasso print you were looking for, it probably is not available anywhere!

I believe this is a great resource for our Art and History teachers. Also antiquers who come across some old things. Students writing a report could also find valuable information here!

After searching "Inca" I found about 5 really cool objects that were from that time period. I liked being about to see them on one page, moving them around. The option to create a webpage is fantastic - I know several teachers who are looking for project ideas!!
