Discovering Native American Culture: Insights from Our Visit to the Children's Museum

Our field trip to the Children's American Indian Museum provided us with valuable insights into Native American culture. We learned about ancient practices, such as growing food, hunting with nets, and using bows and arrows. We discovered the names of traditional homes, including teepees and wigwams, and explored the concept of clans, symbolized by animals like ravens and bears. We also examined totem poles, which represent family clans. Overall, the trip deepened our understanding of the diverse tribal groups and their rich heritage.
