Carrie's Summer Camp in D.C.
I am pleased to be a part of the Oceti Sakowin Project this summer. I am part of a group of educators working on writing Social Studies curriculum for grades K-12 as a part of the SD Office of Indian Education. We are writing the history through the Native American perspective. This project was started 4 years ago. This week we are in D.C. working at the Smithsonian and using their valuable resources to help complete our project. Today we actually traveled to the Cultural Resource Center where they house thousands of items representing tribes from all around the country. It was fascinating to say the least. Here are a few photos of what I saw and learned about today.

Table where the staff had placed honor shirts and dresses out for us to view and learn about from our expert Victor.
Rows and rows of shelving hold thousands of artifacts.
Winter Counts
A buffalo hide boat. Possibly one of two left intact today.
I like the flowers.
Quilling is my favorite art.
