Bring Tennessee State History to life with a Grade 5-focused Reader’s Theater script and two differentiated Mini Readers for grades 3–5. Students trace Native history in the Tennessee region across broad archaeological periods and major sites, then connect that deep history to historically documented Native Nations and living communities. Archaeological evidence, chronology, Nation-specific identity, and continuity are kept distinct.
