Iroquois artists express what is valuable to their people in a remarkably creative way. In this program, students are presented with contemporary Iroquois artworks, and are asked to respond to and analyze them. Each artwork is used as a passage into contemporary Iroquois life, through the art object to the artist, then to the world around the artist. An optional scavenger hunt is available for this program. N-E2 Limited to 25 students per program.
Archeology is the branch of anthropology that focuses on the material culture of human beings.
Through archeology we can better understand the broad sweep of human history. Drawing on the museum's substantial archeological collections, students get a chance to actually touch and identify artifacts from both the remote and recent past. They learn about major archeological discoveries made by the Museum. This program covers some basic principles of archeology and teaches respect for archeological sites. A2, A3, A4, SS1, SS3, SS4 Limited to 25 students per program.
