=Welcome to our Native American wikipage= __ NATIVE AMERICAN NATIONS PROJECT __ //Melting Pot Level 6: Understands the different experiences of Native American groups within the U.S.//

**What is a “wiki”?** A wiki is a website or similar online resource which allows users to add and edit content collectively. It can be visited and edited by anyone. “Wiki wiki” means "rapidly" in the Hawaiian language.

**What am I supposed to do with a wiki?** You will all work collaboratively to create an informational website regarding differing Native American nations. After you've been assigned a particular group, you will need to gather research based upon the following guidelines and post it to your own page using the pages I've created for you. All of your primary information should be included on that page only. However, if you'd like to create additional pages and link them to your main page, you're encouraged to do so.

**__Assignment__:** // The Four Directions Institute is building a world class Native American History and Culture Museum in Maine. The physical structure of the museum represents the major Indian culture regions of the United States. Your team is invited to submit plans for museum displays through the creation of a website. //
