Traditional Villages

June 20, 2024

I enjoyed teaching the children about traditional villages. Our ancestors lived off the land, eating moose and deer, different types of fish and varieties of berries. Each student made a drying, scraping rack for moose and deer hides. I told the students this is how the process starts to make moccasins, mucklucks, gloves, vests and coats. To this day a lot of First Nations people still carry on with this wonderful culture. This was a fun learning experience for the students and they really enjoyed making their villages.
