• How Beaver Lost the Fur on His Tail
  Tookwee?nup, legends, are Paiute stories told during the winter months. They are mythical, often humorous, and they contain a moral. Tookwee?nup teach Paiute children why things are like they are. The stories give spiritual instruction and expose the children to human characteristics that we all possess. This lesson uses this Paiute tale to help students learn about fire myth patterns, wildfires and develop vocabulary. 
• Name Tag Glyphs
  In this lesson, students practice a way to communicate without words by using a glyph. They create a name card using information about themselves. Students also interpret glyphs made by others.
