We are asking schools from each of the 50 states to participate. The participating school will receive a foam-board cutout of their state, which they will decorate with items that reflect the landmarks, industries, and culture of their states. When finished projects are returned to us, we'll create a giant map of the United States. Each project will also be scanned and shared through our project Web site. We would love to have a school in every state participate.

We refresh the page after each issue. The mural is permanently installed and reflects the culture of Southeastern pre-Columbian Native Americans, focusing on a North Carolina tribe, the Cherokee.
