We also will be visiting Jamestown because they have remade the Indian Village and it is pretty neat field trip all around now.

We were reading this before I found Konos, but it's called The Birchbark House and would recommend for 4th grade and up.

We studied this when my children were pre-school through 3rd grade. I posted the books we enjoyed at http://www.squidoo.com/northeast-and-southeast-native-americans-lesson-plan . If you scroll down to the bottom you can see the lessons we did for the other weeks along with our favorite books for each week.
