Native Americans

I am teaching a Native American class using Evan Moor's History Pockets.  Alex and Nicolas are both taking this class.  We are taking several Native American field trips this fall also.   We studied the Tlingit tribe today, from western Canada and Alaska.  They have celebrations called "potlatches".  They make masks to wear and robes and feast for several days.  In fact, you haven't held a "good" potlatch unless people eat so much that they get sick.  They use these masks for dancing.  Here are the masks my class made.
