Four important concepts get you started.

Get ready for reading.

How It’s OrganizedUnits The major sections of your book are units. Each starts with a big idea.

Chapters Units are divided into chapters, and each opens with a vocabulary preview.

What is the story of Louisiana’s past?

“We have one country, one Constitution,

one destiny.”—Daniel Webster

74 • Unit 3

William C. C. Claiborne1775–1817

As more people moved south, Louisiana grew. First it was a territory. Then it was a state. William Claiborne was governor of both.page 79

75

Pinckney B. S. Pinchback1837–1921

During the Civil War, Pinckney Pinchback served as a Union officer. After the war, he became Louisiana’s first African American governor.page 111

Henriette De Lille1813–1862

A free woman herself, Henriette De Lille founded a religious group to help enslaved people in New Orleans.page 99

Food and Shelter The Natchez hunted animals,

gathered wild plants, and practiced agriculture as the other Louisiana Indians did. Corn was their most important crop. Crops are plants grown for food.

The Natchez held the Green Corn Ceremony each year when the first corn was harvested. It was the most important ceremony of the year. They also held the Deer Feast in the spring.

Corn Today corn is still an important crop in Louisiana.

For shelter, the Natchez built both square and round homes by spreading clay and moss over wooden poles. The walls were at least 15 feet high. Grass, woven mats, and sod formed the roof.

Identify the ways the Natchez recorded their history.

Lesson Summary

• Louisiana Indians farmed, hunted animals, and gathered wild plants.

• The Natchez built mounds and were ruled by a king called the Great Sun.

Why It Matters . . .The first people of Louisiana

depended on Earth’s water, plants, and wildlife to survive. People still depend on nature’s resources today.
