Presentation of American Indian Artifacts and History

Program description

This is an extensive exhibit of traditional American Indian Artifacts and discussion on the items, how they were made, and materials used to make them as well as their use and value in Indian culture. Students participate by telling what they think particular items are used for or made from. Students get an introduction to American Indian History and culture as well as understand the Native people’s dependency and connection to the natural world around them. In addition students understand that many of the items and materials used by the people of long ago are still being used by most people today.
This presentation also teaches that Indian people are not extent and learn that North Carolina has eight different Indian tribes and the largest population of Native people east of the Mississippi River.

NOTE! This presentation can be a stand-alone lesson. It may also be included with any of the American Indian art projects and lessons. By beginning any residency with this presentation (which is strongly recommended) students gain a better education about Indians of North Carolina, and a deeper understanding and appreciation for North Carolina History and of the American Indians contribution, therefore allowing a greater appreciation of the art project.
