Native Americans

we’ve been studying american history and yesterday we learned about indians and their homes.  we watched traditional dances (on youtube, of course!) and we looked at their traditional clothes.  the kiddos loved this part of our history.

 

my 3 little indian warriors – notice their war paint (aka my lipstick)

 

these are our different native american dwellings we made.  along with some totem poles, just for fun.  we also taped down a (very rough) outline of the U.S. and learned where each type of dwelling was indigenous to.  we made longhouses, teepees, a wigwam, a chickees, and a pueblo.
