The Title VI program came to our school today to talk with our fourth graders about Native American history. The presentation covered a variety of topics, including: the different tribes, the Iroquois Nations, the first Thanksgiving, foods that origins of food that we eat today started with the Native Americans, Plains Indians and being resourceful. They also talked about medicine (also things like syringes and baby bottles), many games that we play today originated with the Native Americans. We learned that LaCrosse is a sacred game.
We learned that many counties in the state of Utah and the name of our states is from the Native Americans. Also different cities around the states.
We learned that the Native American Hand talk. Our presenters taught the 4th graders a song where they got to use some hand talk.
We ended by learning about the Code Talkers in WWI. A top secret language to help with the battle. We learned so much about the Native American history.
