Stereotype Quiz

When teaching students about a culture that they are unfamiliar with it is important to try and bring up biases that society may have towards that culture and that may have built into their schemas unknowingly. This quiz is a great way to get individuals thinking about how Native groups are viewed in society and what misconceptions may exist about their language, culture and practices. It not only can help to clear up some incorrect understandings but it is a good means of introducing students to Native society and exposing them to some factual information about these societies.
