“Place, Image & Relationship”
NDNAEU 1: Sacred Relatives | How We Relate to Everything
Native people practice a deep interconnectedness with the land, the resources, the water, all living things and all human beings. Land stewardship,
respect for all 2 legged, 4 legged, winged, crawlers and swimmers and a strong belief in the sacredness of all human beings are key elements of our

Supporting Questions 1
Supporting Question 2
Supporting Question 3
How do we make decisions about the
kind of images we use to share details
of a family relationship with others
who don’t know that person?
What did the Dakota people use
images for in their Winter Counts,
and how were the images related to
their attitude toward “place”?
How do maps help us to understand
not only physical area but also
important connections and resources
within the space?
Formative Performance Task
Formative Performance Task
Formative Performance Task
Tell students you want to introduce
them to some family member and
then begin showing pictures of “retro
physiology charts” that give details of
how particular organs work... eyes,
ears, liver, kidneys, etc.. Gauge
student reactions to this... ask
questions like “Why are you
laughing? Isn’t it important to know
how her eyeballs work?” etc...
Then show some real pictures of this
person, briefly telling the stories that
go with each...
Engage in a large circle discussion
around some of these questions.
View image 40 from High Dog Winter
Count, zoomed in, and then
progressively zoomed out (see
attached images example). Ask
students to describe what they see at
each stage. Engage in whole circle
conversation about what the image
is.
Once you zoom all the way out,
include Beede’s description of that
particular image and ask students
how the image might show this.
Show Dr Craig Howe’s “Lakota Star
Knowledge” video clip for an
overview of Winter Counts. Possibly
Students read articles linked below
“How do we all get around?” and
“Indian spatial concepts”
Compare maps found at the links
listed below and note the focus or
purpose for each map.
1. In what ways do the maps vary
from one another?
2. How are these maps similar to
Winter Count images? How are
they different?
3. What explains the differences
between these maps made (or
dictated) by native people and
the Winter Count images?
1. How do you decide on an image
to use?
2. What makes an image
appropriate?
3. What makes an image
inappropriate?
4. What makes an image
understandable or significant for
someone else?
Have students select a picture of
someone they know and care about
and write a brief explanation of why
this would be a great image to use in
describing this person to someone
else.
visit the Smithsonian Museum online
Winter Count site.
1. What was the purpose of Winter
Counts?
2. What did they do for the people?
3. What did they do for individuals
in the tribe?
4. How are Winter Counts
connected to “Place”?
5. How do Winter Count images
show relationship with “Place”?
Watch “Sacred Relatives” with Elder
JT Shining Oneside and have students
discuss in small circles some of the
“Learn From” questions.
4. What connections do you find
between these maps and the
ideas of “Horizontal and Vertical
Navigators”?
Find a variety of contemporary maps
(within the last 75 years) of your
region or state. Compare them and
identify their purposes. For each,
address these questions:
1. What stands out here?
2. What is missing?
3. Who made this, when and for
what reason?
4. What sense do you make of it?
5. What might it mean to
?

Supported Claim
(written/spoken) or
Demonstration of
Write a paper or create a presentation in which you compare 3 types of
images connected with the same “Place”: 1) An image created by indigenous
inhabitants of the region (Winter Count, Bead Work, Pictograph, etc) 2) A
Performance Process (project- relatively contemporary map of the region, and 3) A photograph or image
Task based) created to represent the place in some way. Compare and contrast the ways
these 3 different images express Relationship to Place. Build an argument
concerning why these relationships and images differ, and how that is
significant.
Create an image or map of your own that truly expresses YOUR relationship
