Last Thursday, we enjoyed a great time with several families from our homeschool group. The Indian Heritage Festival was great and SO educational. We'll definitely plan to visit this next year!!
Abigail's first station/center was getting Indian face painting. She chose a fish from a sheet of symbols. It was pretty easy....as it simply means fish..one of the many foods they ate.
Another station was a storytelling/culture area. This Indian lady was quite funny. After telling a story about how the Possum's tail lost its hair, she shared other fun details, then let the children put on masks that were handmade for her by a friend in her tribe.
This photo was made while the kids participated in a circle dance. Abigail really watched Haley, because she picked it up so quickly.

We really enjoyed it, too. The dancing was Haley's favorite part, although I'm not really sure how that style of dance fit with the Native American theme.
