A Pile of Sweet Native American Artifacts


We have finished the first chapter in our wonderful American history book, Changing Frontiers, published by Christian Light Publishers, and I had shown my students my few Native American artifacts, but I knew someone who had more -- lots more.  This person graciously gave me permission to borrow some of them for the day.  We looked at each piece and discussed how it probably was used.  I let them touch the sharp edges and we marveled that we were touching items that hundreds of years ago were actually crafted and used by Native Americans.  

Most of the items are scrapers, hammers, pounders, ax heads, etc., and this piece below was a pipe.
