Native Americans of North America

In our current Social Studies unit of study we are studying the different native people groups across North America.  This week, we focused on the Plains Indians of the Midwest.  We learned that they carried their smaller belongings in what is called a Parfleche (par . flesh).  A sack, made from buffalo hide and painted with symbols and drawings of various things that were special to them and/or that told a story.  Here are a few of what the kids made.
