Imagine not being able to buy your clothes, tools, food, and household items at a store! During this virtual lesson today, 4th grade students at Jefferson were challenged to think about how they would meet their needs using the natural environment around them. Students spoke with experts from the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming.
They discovered that long ago many Plains Indian tribes had to use the natural resources around them to survive. This lesson introduced students to a traditional Plains Indian story about a mischievous young man who gets his head stuck in a buffalo skull.
Then they learned the culture of Plains Indians and buffalo as the presenter introduced them to their hands-on collection pieces. They discussed how the Plains Indians used the fur, hide, sinew, bones, and even bladder of the buffalo in their every day lives. The lesson was very informative, interactive, and engaging!
