On November 12 and 18, Immigration Nation went to Indian Rock Nature Preserve, in Bristol, to learn about the interactions and collaborations between Early European Immigrants and Native Americans. Students learned about the 3 Sister Crops, the Tunix Indians, the legend of the corn husk doll and tasted foods that Native Americans taught Europeans to grow.
Students spent time in wigwams, listening to Native Americans tell their tales about foods that were brought to American by the European immigrants and about what the Native Americans taught the immigrants about hunting and farming, as well.
Students made cornhusk dolls and took a hayride around the Indian Rock property listening to stories about early Native American groups who lived there.
It was a wonderful day that really put early immigration stories into perspective for the students.
I'm really looking forward to visiting your classrooms in the next few weeks!
Have a wonderful winter break! Wishing you and your families a very happy 2014!
