We have been learning about American Indians in History and Art. What a fantastic interdisciplinary program! Katharine and Lukas have made puzzles of Anasazi clay pots, Katharine painted water color clay pot with her own design and today we tried to build a tepee out of twigs, string and a brown paper bag. Katharine knows that the Plains Indians put their own individual designs on the tepees and decided to go with an eagle design covering the entire tepee. She learned that the eagle is a symbol of power and strength and that the designs came to the artists in dreams or visions.
