For several weeks I had this event on our calendar for the whole family to enjoy. But when the Upward basketball practice schedule came out earlier in the week, three of our four children were not able to go. So Dad took the basketball stars to practice while H and I had a day together at the History Museum.
North Carolina is rich in Native American history. The museum does an outstanding job each year in providing a day of learning and fun experiences. This was our first year to attend this event and we will be back.
Here are a few highlights...
H "decorating" some pottery (i.e. it was play-do*gh but she got the idea). Her favorite design was with the seashells. Imagine that!
H making a bell cone. The women in traditional dress had these all over their clothes. They made lots of noise when dancing.
The Chicken Dance (Native American style)
H thought the man right in the middle of the photo (in blue) had a "cool" headpiece. This photo does not show all the feathers. It really was cool.
When we got home, E asked H, "Were there any real Indians there?" Such fun times in learning our American history.
