SAND Club Studies Native Peoples

After a session in which we talked about the various native people groups that have lived in the St. Croix Valley, each family picked a people group to study. Some of the families planned to meet at Mounds Park. We rounded out our unit with a fasinating storytelling session at the Minnesota History Center with "Buzz," a Dakota and Cherokee man, who had us riveted to his every word. My kids still talk about Buzz and what he taught them about thunder being our friend, because it warns us of the lightning! Our projects are still in process.
