Native American Studies

The boys and I have been studying about Native American Indians. We've read some really fun books and made a typical 'chikee' or stilt house and engaged in a little basket weaving. These are Justin's creations above. Some of the books we've read together (or Justin on his own) are:
Vostas: White Buffalo's Story of Plains Indian Life
Stone Fox, Gardiner
Om-Kas-Toe
North American Indians, Gorsline
The Sign of the Beaver, Speare
Walk the World's Rim,
Justin's favorites are Om-Kas-Toe and The Sign of the Beaver because "they were so adventurous!" I loved Walk the World's Rim and Stone Fox!

We're anxious for an upcoming field trip with some natives in our area!!!
