Lesson 2 Inquiry

Inquiry

What was daily life like for the Haudenosaunee?

This is another opportunity to refine your research skills.  When conducting research, it is important to verify that your source of information is accurate and reliable.  One way to do this is to use more than one source.  In this Inquiry, you will use at least three sources to learn more about the daily lives of the Haudenosaunee.
