The director knows this is your first mission. He has put together a worksheet with specific questions and an organizational chart to assist you. In order to make a good impression make sure that you answer all of the questions thoroughly. Be sure to write more than one sentence and ensure that they are complete sentences.

3. Seasonal Round: Plateau Tribes performed a seasonal round in order to survive, since food was scarce and often hard to find. Go to the websites below to find the information required to complete the worksheet also linked below.
