 * This unit will discuss the political power, perspectives, and diverse cultures in Maine through studying various cultures that either currently or historically have benefited Maine. Students will research and interview members of the community to present how Maine's Franco-Americans were a major cultural contributor in terms of Maine industry from the early 1800s to the mid 1900s. They will also explore the political impact of the immigration of Somalis to the state, and how this culture has changed aspects of how the state runs, as well as covering the history of Maine Native Americans. Through studying these areas of Maine history, students will discover a greater pride for their state as well as learning more about their own culture.
