As a culminating activity for our Native American unit, students were asked to create a shoebox diorama. Students were expected to show the tribe that they chose (Powhatan, Lakota, or Pueblo), along with that tribe's region, habitat, food, climate, occupation, and method of transportation. Students were also expected to write a brief paragraph that summarized all that went into their diorama. To say that I was impressed would be an understatement. What walked through my door on the diorama due date (or even before) was quite a sight! The time and effort that went into these projects was amazing. It is clear to me that the students invested not only time, but a great deal of thought and effort as well. I commend all of them for the hard work they did! If you didn't get a chance to swing by the second grade hall and see these dioramas yourself, have no fear! Below you can see an up close and personal shot of each one. ENJOY!

This card will be shipped in cellophane envelope - Grandmother Spider - The Weaver Grandmother Spider – Spider Grandmother, Spider Woman,, Tse-che-nako Sussistinako is known in the ancient folklore of Native Americans, as the creator of the world and the universe. For the many hundreds of Native Americans Tribes, such as Hopi, Pueblo, Navajo, and the Choctaw to name but a few, there are many myths and stories about the old spider woman who created the sky, brought fire to the people and created the 4 races of humans . She molded out of clay the red, yellow white and black races of people, connecting each one with a thread from her web at the top of their heads (crown chakra) , as a reminder that all are connected to the central source via the web of life. One of the most popular and well known stories is that of Grandmother Spider spinning her web of creation whilst singing her song, After she had embellished the strands of her web with dew drops, she threw this web into the sky, the dew drops becoming the stars and planets. The stories of Grandmother spider are symbolic of the Feminine aspect of the Creator. In the oral tradition of Native Americans, stories to explain the mystery and magic of the universe were passed down from one generation to another, The American Natives understood and connected deeply with nature and the earth, and Grandmother Spider’s web of creation helped them comprehend that everything and everyone is connected to this web of life. Within all of these tribes there is a common honoring of the deep sacredness of the Feminine and the feminine aspect of the earth and creation. To this day, whether we are Native American or not, we refer to the earth as Mother Earth, and to nature as Mother Nature. Out of the dark, out of the void, Grandmother Spider through her thought , dreams and desires, weaved the web of life. The web is the matrix of the cosmos, the complex pattern of threads connecting everything to everyone. The Spiral dance of the weaver, is the spiral dance of creation. Grandmother Spider not only asks us to remember how fragile the threads are, but that we are these threads indeed and that whether we understand it or not, whether we believe it or not, we are all connected intricately and intimately to each other. © Jo Jayson 2016

SIGNED Authentic Navajo White Clay Pottery Painted Wild Horses Dreamcatcher Feather Wedding vase. Hallmarked by Navajo Artist This piece is individually hand molded and is not made on potter's wheel. This is a traditional Navajo Wedding Vase. Add some fine ceramic Southwestern Art to your home. Navajo Traditional Wedding Vase The Wedding Vase is an ancient vessel still used in traditional Native American wedding ceremonies. One spout of the vessel represents the husband; the other, the wife. The looped handle represents the unity achieved with marriage. The space created within the loop represents the couples’ own circle of life. The wedding vase is a treasured and sacred tradition among many Native American Indian tribes, particularly the Navajo and Pueblo peoples. These vases are not only symbolic in the ceremony performed just prior to the wedding itself, but also in the shape and construction of the vessel. About a week or two before a couple is officially married, the groom’s parents build the wedding vase from clay found in a local river bed and ceremonially cleaned and filtered. Once the vessel has been properly fired, both families assemble. The parents give the young couple advice, and the wedding vase is filled with a special liquid. Traditionally it would be a nectar made by the medicine man, though many modern couples may choose to drink water or an herbal infused tea from the vase to represent the blending of their lives. First the groom offers his bride the vessel and she drinks from one spout. She then turns the wedding vase clockwise, and the groom then drinks from this same side. Each will then drink from the opposite side of the wedding vase, and then finally in the culmination of the ceremony, they will both drink from the wedding vase together. It is said that if they manage this feat without spilling a drop they will always have a strong, cooperative relationship. The vase then becomes a cherished piece in their household and great care is taken to make sure it is never damaged. The vessel itself is quite beautiful, and its design is an integral part of its meaning. The two spouts represent the couple; one the bride, the other the groom. The rounded base and shared reservoir of the vase represent the couple’s now-shared lives. The looped handle also represents this unity in a more visible and apparent way, much like a wedding band is a visible reminder of the deeper, spiritual connection shared by a husband and wife. The handle creates a circle in the center of the vase that represents the circle of life.

Last week, we Amy taught our kids all about different Native American cultures. I say Amy and not "we" because she is very knowledgeable and really did do most, if not all, of the teaching for this unit. It is also a subject that she is very interested in. And she did an amazing job, as always! Each day we focused on a different region. We had a fact booklet that we read, and we read them different legends from each region, showed pictures, etc. I wanted to show you a couple of the activities we did for some of the regions! For the Southwest region {which is where Amy is originally from} we made a giant pueblo village! We gave each student a piece of paper. They made their family's pueblo, and wrote one fact they learned at the bottom of the pueblo. Then we put it together on butcher paper! "The pueblo girls learned to grind corn, bake, and weave." For the Northwest region, we learned all about totem poles, and we had the kids make their own! They had to choose 4 people {or pets} that they wanted their totems to represent. Then they had to write a sentence about why each person {or pet} was important to them. They loved this activity and did a great job! You can get your free template from Enchanted Learning. No unit is complete without a yummy activity, right?! After learning about the Plains region, we made edible tipis/tepees/teepees {our kids have seen every spelling for this word!} Each child needs an ice cream cone, about a teaspoon of icing, a few pretzel sticks and some m&ms! This was a huge hit, of course :) This week we are learning about the Wampanoags and the Pilgrims, and instead of a traditional feast, we are going to eat like the Pilgrims did on the Mayflower {crackers, beef jerky, and cheese!} We will also have some turkey fun! If you are in need of some turkey fun, be sure to check out the packs below! Click on either picture :)

The great Native American Novel of a battered veteran returning home to heal his mind and spirit, from celebrated author Leslie Marmon Silko Decades after its original publication, Ceremony remains one of the most profound and moving works of Native American literature—a novel that is itself a ceremony of healing. Tayo, a World War II veteran of mixed ancestry, returns to the Laguna Pueblo Reservation. He is deeply scarred by his experience as a prisoner of the Japanese and further wounded by the rejection he encounters from his people. Only by immersing himself in the Indian past can he begin to regain the peace that was taken from him. Masterfully written, filled with the somber majesty of Pueblo myth, Ceremony is a work of enduring power. This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition contains a new preface by the author and an introduction by Larry McMurtry. Part of the Penguin Orange Collection, a limited-run series of twelve influential and beloved American classics in a bold series design offering a modern take on the iconic Penguin paperback.
