Learning Outcomes:

1. Students will understand how Hood Canal and Puget Sound was formed.
2. Students will learn about the first people to colonize the Puget Sound region.
3. Students will discover what role climate played in altering the environment of Hood Canal and how this changed the groups of people that lived there.
4. Students will understand the relationship of environment and culture.
5. Students will learn about the economies of prehistoric Hood Canal tribes.
6. Students will learn about modern climate change and its impacts on the environment of Hood Canal.
7. Students will learn about Pacific Northwest Tribal response to climate change.
8. Students will understand the difficulty of proactive adaptation by tribes to modern day climate change.
9. Students will think about creative ways for tribes to predict and exploit new natural resource opportunities that may be created by climate change.
