In 2019 the United States declared the month of November National Native American Heritage Month. Over the past ten years, we have traveled and learned from the many different tribes around North America. We have traveled up to the arctic circle to learn from the Inuit tribes about surviving the climate. Spent time on the Navajo Nation as well as many many other tribes in North and South America. We are sharing these National Native American Heritage crafts with the utmost respect to the tribes and nations.
Today we are sharing only a few of the crafts we have in our new category Native American. To find all of these crafts please click HERE. In this category, we are learning about the different tribes that make up the North American Native Americans. We learn about animals, lodging, clothing, and more through arts and crafts. I hope your little artist has fun learning about the different tribe cultures.
We are starting today’s newsletter with an Adobe house craft. This is a style of home the Peblo Natives might live in the southwest. To find out more please click the image below.

Next, we are making our own dream catchers. This project comes to us from the Chippewa nation. It is important when making a dream catcher to use all-natural items. To find out how we made ours please click the image below.

Next, we are heading up to the frozen north to celebrate the Inuit tribe by making Inukshuk (Stone Man). These were used as kind of a road sign to help direct people to hunting grounds and more. Little artists will have fun cutting and designing his or her own stone man.
