3rd Graders Study Native American Art

American Indians made parfleches, very similar to the ones our students just completed. The Native Americans made them from dried raw buffalo hide. They painted them in bright colors and used them to hold food. Ours are made from crumpled grocery bags and raffia, sharpies, and watercolor markers. Follow the link to learn more about Native American parfleches.
