Academy Students Go Native American For A Day

 At , fourth-grade students experienced Journey into Native American Territory, an interactive program that brought the history and culture of Native American civilization to life.

The in-school museum featured a variety of original artifacts, clothing and musical instruments Native Americans used within their families and tribes. Throughout the interactive workshops, students worked with rudimentary tools to complete tasks and competed in games that simulated the daily activities of hunting and gathering.

Students were even able to walk through a longhouse and explore the animal coats and skins Native Americans used. Historical experts culminated the day by describing the ancient art of storytelling and sharing with students some nature-based tales.
