  2. Navajo Culture • Girls learn to cook, make pottery, and weave at early ages • Boys would learn to hunt, make tools, and live more physical lives • They like to perform in ceremonies and rituals and they like to chant • Navajos love nature and are very good farmers • Like to live with a group of people (Tribe)

  3. Sihu- Means Flower Sihu is a Navajo girl I could connect with her by: • Asking if she has very made pottery and if so what did she make • Is she a good cook or what is her favorite thing to cook • Ask her favorite thing about nature or her favorite season and why

  4. Navajo Generalizations: • Some Navajo’s wear headdresses • Most Navajo’s wear lots of beads • Some Navajo’s could live off the land

  7. Parent Letter I am Sihu’s teacher and I have leaned a lot about her culture during school. Hearing many different stereotypes about Navajos I thought teaching her would be different. We are providing a multicultural education for our students and Sihu has been a great help to this. Sihu is part of our assimilation program. She is doing very good in school and we are very proud of her. I would love to learn more about her ethnicity as the year goes on. You should be very proud of her she is a very bright young girl with a lot of potential.
