Third grade students from Erving and Wegienka recently visited the River Raisin National Battlefield Park in Monroe to learn more from the Wyandot native people. In third grade, students learn about Michigan Native Americans, so this field trip was a great opportunity for students to learn in a very hands-on way. Every year, the Wyandot people, some traveling from Oklahoma and Canada, come to the River Raisin Battlefield to teach our students about their culture.
Our students learned about the music, traditions, government, and family life of the indigenous people and explored how they used natural resources. They had hands-on experiences in a longhouse and wigwam, and they even got to make wampum belts in the newly created Wampum Room.
When students were asked to rate their experience from 1 to 5, many enthusiastically gave it a 10! The beautiful fall weather added to the experience, allowing them to participate in an Indian removal simulation, try using a lacrosse stick, and grind corn into cornmeal the traditional way. The River Raisin National Battlefield team really outdoes themselves each year, and this visit was no exception!
We are still looking for a few volunteers to help at the Goodies with Grandparents event. If you have an hour and a half to spare in the morning, please consider volunteering. Sign up here if interested: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C48A4A628A3FF2-52634225-2024
