Fourth and fifth graders concluded their study of Native American cultures by developing an Abenaki Artifact Museum! Each student researched an artifact, crafted a replica of that artifact, and wrote an artist statement describing important things about it. Statements included what the artifact was used for, who may of used it, and what could be inferred about Abenaki culture based on that item. These artifacts look genuine enough to be at ECHO!
