Wampanoag Visit!

Featured Blogger: Sabrina

In 3Sp we had a Wampanoag man come and see us. His name was Phillip and he brought cool things to our classroom. The first thing that he showed us was animal skins with the fur. First he showed us a deer skin, skunk skin, and beaver skin. Do not worry the skunk skin is not stinky. Then we talked about bows and arrows.  Phillip had a bow made out of wood.  His arrows were made out of wood, feathers, and a type of rock.  Did you know that when they hunted with their bows and arrows they put special designs on the arrows so if the Wampanoags fired their arrows all at once they would know which arrow was theirs because of the special designs!  We learned lots of cool facts!  We also talked about how the Wampanoag tribe make dolls. The dolls were made out of a special type of plant!  It was the best visit ever!
