Hands on interactive woodland Indian educational programs. This program offers opportunities for students to try stone, bone and wooden tools. They learn how structures were built and try on plant fiber clothes, bags and belts. They learn hide processing, scraping hair and skin from a deerhide and apply real brains to soften it. They learn hunting and fishing practices, shoot arrows, play real woodland games, and participate in role playing skits to engage them in real live history. They become voyageurs and members of a Native village exchanging furs for trade goods. There is so much to experience right in the classroom with real hands on living history. Woventales Productions
