  • 3. 

    Where did Hiawatha live? 

    • In a big city

    • In the village 

    • Wigwam

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Wigwam
    Explanation
    Hiawatha lived in a wigwam. A wigwam is a traditional Native American dwelling made of poles and covered with bark or animal hides. It was a common type of housing for many Native American tribes, including the Iroquois people, among whom Hiawatha is a prominent figure. Living in a wigwam would have been typical for Hiawatha during that time period.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What does a wigwam mean?

    • A new house

    • A boat

    • A hut

    • A plane

    Correct Answer
    A. A hut
    Explanation
    A wigwam is a type of dwelling that was traditionally used by Native American tribes. It is a dome-shaped structure made of a framework of poles covered with bark or animal skins. It is typically used as a temporary or seasonal shelter. Therefore, the correct answer, "A hut," accurately describes what a wigwam is.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Who was Hiawatha

    • French boy

    • Indian boy

    • Red Indian boy

    • Japanese boy

    Correct Answer
    A. Red Indian boy
    Explanation
    Hiawatha was a legendary figure in Native American folklore, specifically from the Iroquois Confederacy. He is often depicted as a heroic figure who brought peace and unity to the tribes. The term "Red Indian" is an outdated and potentially offensive term used to refer to Native Americans. Therefore, the correct answer is "Red Indian boy" as it reflects Hiawatha's cultural and historical background.

    Rate this question:

    A. Animals
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Animals" because the question is asking about the "brothers" of someone, and typically "brothers" refers to male siblings. Since animals can be male, it makes sense that the correct answer would be animals.
