Let's
Give Thanks !
1. Come
Enjoy Camp's THANKSGIVING NATIVE ART WEEK !! We have the new Rock
Art Gallery up and the new Indian Basket Gallery will also be opening.
Bring your students to these great new image libraries and then
invite them to consider the Native People's vital role in feeding
the first pilgrims. We welcome you to host art projects in your
class and then send us scans or hard copy of the best works so we
can build a Student Art Gallery for this year's participants. We
also have a Thanksgiving Mark Twain feature in Global Gardens that
includes Twain's acerbic comments about America's subsequent treatments
of the Indians … let's bring it full circle and honor
our continent's FIRST PEOPLE.
