Maidu Tribe

For our Native American class in co-op, we studied the Maidu tribe of California.  The used seed beaters to hit the plants to knock the seeds out and then put them in the basket to collect the seeds.  The kids made their own seed baskets.



The Maidu had Bear celebrations including a large feast.  The bear was very important to them.  The kids made their Bear shakers with a bear acrostic.



Big, Eating, Arterie, Roaster



Back, Eat, Airbud, Rat

Not sure where those words came from (for either boy), or what that has to do with bears.  :)
