Our third graders were delighted to learn about the Woodland Life Skills Program at the Museum of Indian Culture in Allentown.
Students discovered more about the lifeways of the Lenape prior to European contact: housing, clothing, food, social structure, music, and games. With favorable weather conditions, students had the opportunity to use the bow and atlatl. It was an awesome experience!
About the Museum
Founded in 1980, the Museum of Indian Culture is a unique member-supported, volunteer run, non-profit resource center for people of all ages to learn about Native American cultures, especially from the northeast, but also throughout the western hemisphere. Our mission is to preserve and perpetuate the authentic histories and cultural heritage of Native American peoples--past, present, and future. For over 40 years, the museum has offered educational exhibits, programs, internships, and collaborative community events for the greater Lehigh Valley and beyond. Our services set the standard for Native American education in eastern Pennsylvania.
