Totem Pole

Totem poles were made and used by Native Americans. Usually totem poles would symbolize the past about a tribe. The totem pole above symbolizes peace, nature, fruits, the moon and the sun, and the stars. The name of this totem pole is red fox. The reason this totem pole was named Red Fox is because there is a fox on it. Also, it is is called Red Fox because the Native Americans would name people animal names based on their personality. Red Fox would most likely mean quick, sly, and courageous. totem poles were a very important part of Native Americans lives.

Longhouse

This is a model of a Longhouse that was made by 5th grade students. The Longhouse was a house that the Native Americans lived in. The Longhouse region was found in the Northwest Woodlands. My group got to research the Longhouse. Then we made a model of a Longhouse. We made our model out of clay, sticks, rocks, grass,hot glue, and paint. The Native Americans made their Longhouses out of bark, wood poles, berry paint, animal skins, mud, and sap. Making a model of a Longhouse is very fun!
