Introduction
Geometry has been a part of Native American history for centuries, as is clear from the study of the architectural techniques of Native American dwellings. Over the years the dwellings have changed and some are now only a part of history, but some Native American tribes still build their historical dwellings for ceremonial purposes. These dwellings are an important part of our heritage, a heritage that is fading from the memories of our youth. One approach in reconnecting students to their heritage is by using cultural relevancy in the teaching of mathematics, which is also a recommended approach in closing the achievement gap.
