SOME INTERESTING CON-
STRUCTION WORK IS DONE
BY THE SEVENTH GRADE
The seventh grade history class
es did some very nice construction
work in connection with their study
of the North American Indians.
The two classes were divided into
tour groups each and each group
constructed a scene which would
show some Of the outstanding char
acteristics of the various tribes Of
the North American Indians.
One group constructed scene
which showed the life and the type
of Indian living furthest North.
These were the Eskimo Indians. 1t
showed an Eskimo dresses in furs
and using a harpoon. The Eskimo
was getting his food through the
ice.
The second scene was Of the
Northwestern Indian who lived in
the Pacific Coast States. These In
dams had a higher culture and
constructed homes and seagoing
canoes Of wood.
The Plains Indians occupied the
mississippi River and Rocky
Mountain region. The students con-
structed the typical skin teepees Of
these wandering tribes. These tee
pees were of skin to make them
easy to move. These Indians dress
ed in skin clothes with a feather
head-dress. They hunted buffalo
for their food.
The Eastern Woodland Indians
are shown as farmers or agricul-
turists with corn and pumpkins.
These Indians made use of birch
bark a great deal in the construc-
ton of their dome shaped houses
and their canoes.
In Florida the Seminole Indians
were agriculturisrs and fishers ra-
Their than hunters. This section
shows open houses with matched
roofs, dugouts and canoes. It
shows the fruits and vegetables on
which they depended for much Of
their food.
In the Southwest were the Pueblo
Indians. They lived in community
houses or Pueblos which houses
many people, even hundreds. They
showed a higher degree Of culture.
They had skill in rug making and
pottery. The pupils made figures
Of women grinding corn and max
ing bread in little dome shaped
ovens outside. In the same section
the Navajo Indians were found.
Their dwellings were merely rude
mud covered huts. They were skill
ed weavers and were also accom-
plished in the making of pottery
