Purchase or make tattoos students can put on their hands or arms. OR have each student trace another person on large sheets of paper. The student can then take their outline and draw tattoos on the body as if it were a Native American. If they tattooed the entire body, it would represent an older male, etc. Learn to play the Native American game of Mameeshauhkwauhenar.
Players try to hit the brass or tin by throwing a small wooden ball from a stick.
The number of points earned for contacting the ball and tin is agreed upon between the players before the game begins. Then each time the tin is hit, count one or more points as was previously decided. Early Native Americans used pottery bowls, which were later replaced with wooden bowls or kettles as trade with settlers began. Make a salt clay pottery bowl that would represent the style of bowls used by the early Native Americans. Native Americans wore animal skins as clothing.
