| We were very excited to have Native American Indians come to join our class last week. Mrs. Lynn O'Neil and Nate Pero came to talk about Abenaki customs and traditions they learned from their families. Both Chief Nate and Ms. Lynn bought artifacts to share with us. Mrs. Lynn brought ash and birch bark baskets made by her relatives and beautiful bead work she made using beads, porcupine quills and shells. Nate had animal skins, a turtle shell shield and arrows heads. Kids noticed how all of the items were made from materials found in nature. |
 |
| Chief Nate explained how a turtles shell represented the months of the year to his native culture. |
 |
| Nate also brought snow snakes.
