Welcome to the Colwell History Museum ... Native American exhibit ...
Iroquois exhibit ... lived in the NE where we live ...
several families would live in a long house and the long houses were surrounded by at stockade
Cherokee and Souix exhibit - lived in the SE (by Great Gramma in FL)
Cherokee were known for thier beutiful baskets
Souix Indians from the Great Plains
Buffalo hunters who used EVERY part of the buffalo including the ribs for a sled
used symbols to write stories of their lives on buffalo skin
Pueblo Indians lived in the SW
Cliff Dwellers ... never moved, farmers
were known for weaving beautiful rugs
Indians of the Northwest Coast ... very different from all other Indians
each family had a totem pole outside their home telling the story of their family
We had homeschool friends visit our museum yesterday morning. And family and friends visited last night. Nathan and Grace gave tours and told all about what they learned and showed what they made.
What a great way to wrap up our study on "the First Americans".
Thanks for visiting!
