2 WE DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO THE NATIVE AMERICANS, AMERICANS PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE AND TO CATHY BOLLINGER FOR HELPING US WRITE OUR OWN SONGS AND PERFORM THEM AT QUEST FEST.

3 In 2 nd grade, we study three different Native American peoples. Powhatan Eastern Woodlands Lakota Plains Pueblo

4 Southwest These 3 different groups of people led lives that were dependent on the natural resources of their area. They all respected nature. They took care of the earth and only used what they needed. Native American culture groups had different homes because of their natural resources. Those who lived near deserts used clay or stones to build their homes. Those who lived on the Plains used buffalo skins to make their homes. Still others lived near forests. They built their homes of wood. Region Eastern Woodlands Plains Southwest Indians Homes Occupations Transportation Long house with bark/reed covering Fishermen, hunters, farmers Walked, paddled canoes Lakota Teepees Hunters, horsemen Walked, used horses Pueblo Multi-story terraced buildings Farmers, hunters Walked Powhatan

5 Powhatan Lakota Pueblo

6 First we got ready to make the masks by putting vaseline all over our faces. We put a bag over our hair and a towel over our clothes. We sat down and the strips of cloth were dipped into warm water and put on our faces.

7 First the strips were put around the outside. The strips were put down in another layer and then it came down our nose. Next the cheeks were filled in. The mouth was last because we wanted to shape it around the mouth so that the lips would show. We never covered the nostrils so we could breathe. After the mask strips were finished, we had to wait for minutes so it would harden. When it was hard enough, it would pop off really easily.

8 After the mask was popped off, we had to wash our faces. We had a big tub of warm water and face cloths. We looked in the mirror to make sure there was no white stuff left. We divided into 3 groups.. Powhatan, Pueblo and Lakota. We looked at pictures and we had to decide as a group what kind of decorations our indians would use. We had 4 heads on a piece of paper so we would have 4 chances to design one we liked.

9 Once we chose the one we liked, we made it bigger with more details. We painted our masks. We tried to paint the exact decorations. Sometimes we used different colors. Depending on the design, it was hard or easy.

10 When we were done painting, we had a choice to put on yarn hair or feathers. Artist Statements When you are an artist, it takes a lot of hard work and concentration. I feel really happy with my mask. -Kasia If you are an artist, it takes a lot of concentration and patience. If you go too fast, you ll miss a lot of parts. I feel really good and like being an artist. -Will It takes time to learn these experiences and if you want to experience the things I have, you ll take my advice and make a mask like we did. -Olivia When you are an artist, you don t want to be stressed. You want to be relaxed because stress can mess up your art. -Maddie I felt like I was painting an actual person s face. The hand painted on the face means you were brave enough to touch your enemy. I wanted to feel brave. -Nikki

11 Lakota Buffalo jump the cliff, hit the bottom and brake bones and die We eat it all but tools, fires, teepees, paint and weapons We follow those buffalo We travel for food Sacred dogs are our horses We paint them and our bodies We paint everything, even our buffalo teepees Bears, wolves, eagles and the gods are our friends White Buffalo Woman,

20 Lakota Verse 1 The Lakotas lived in Teepees and moved when buffalo did. When they were riding their horses, they called them sacred dogs. They chased the buffalo, off a steep gigantic cliff.
