You will create a pamphlet advertising the current status of one of the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee, or Seminole) displaced by the Indian Removal Act. The pamphlet should be created using a standard sized (8 1/2" x 11") piece of paper folded in half. The pamphlet should include the following features:

  • •  an illustration on the cover representing some aspect of the nation
  • •  a slogan for the nation that expresses the nation’s pride and its ties to the past and the present
  • •  one paragraph each on the nation’s 1) history, 2) culture, 3) government, and 4) experience on the Trail of Tears
  • •  four illustrations—one to support each of the paragraphs
  • •  correct grammar and spelling

Use the Five Civilized Tribes Museum Web site as your initial resource. The site is produced by the Five Civilized Tribes Museum, located in Muskogee, Oklahoma. The site includes links to the homepages of all five Native American nations. Each homepage has a variety of information concerning the history, culture, and government of the nations.
