This work is a culmination of four years of research and development of educational plans that specifically address the reading and social studies objectives of our Indian education program. The lesson plans are designed to meet the state standards of Alabama and are based on the criteria required in the standardized assessment of all students attending Lawrence County Schools. Lessons are historically specific to the Indian heritage of the Warrior Mountains of North Alabama. These lesson plans were written from an Indian perspective for Indian children in our school system.
