Program Description:
Students will explore the lives of pre-statehood Ojibwa, Odawa and Potawatomi peoples during this hands-on program. Our presenter uses artifacts, replicas, graphics and interactive activities to help students discover Native American lifeways, tools, technologies, and modern language contributions. Students will then try their hands at fire making with hand drills and at drilling with replicas of precontact pump drills.
