Fourth graders at Tackan Elementary were involved Monday in hands-on workshops exploring the culture of the Eastern Woodlands Indians who inhabited New York State.
During the Journeys Into American Indian Territory program, students had the opportunity to see firsthand how the native peoples used their natural resources to meet their needs and wants. Students participated in traditional games and listened to stories to learn more about the history of these indigenous tribes.
Students also learned about their system of government and had the opportunity to make a clay pot.
