Story Robes

In Social Studies we have been learning about First Nations Peoples. Students enjoyed finding out about how they depended upon the buffalo for food and shelter, how they hunted and gathered their food and what effect the newcomers had on their way of life.

We learned that First Nations People used story robes to record events from their lives.  We made story robes too!  Students chose several important events from their own lives and represented them by drawing symbols and pictures on "buffalo hides" (crumpled up brown paper).
