“Skills of Indigenous People”
In this activity, students research and demonstrate a skill set used by Indigenous peoples and draw comparisons to Two Old Women.
In Two Old Women, the protagonists use the skills they have acquired to survive in the Alaskan wilderness alone. Research skills and resources used by Indigenous peoples and craft your own survival tool.
As you listen to others’ presentations, reflect in your notes or reading journal on the ways in which the protagonists might have benefited from the various tools.
Teaching Suggestion: Students might find it beneficial to discuss what qualifies as school-appropriate materials to present to peers.
