Family Culture Activity Packet- Native American

Linked below is a learning packet focused on Native American Culture and history in our area. You will find books, activities, "field trip" ideas and more. We hope it sparks important, honest conversations with your children and can be a drop in the bucket toward healing our community.  

Ask us for a free book! We are giving away 10 copies of "Fry Bread." If your family would enjoy receiving the book and would otherwise be unable to purchase it please email us and include the address you'd like it dropped off or shipped to. (ecfesouthpac@gmail.com) Or, consider buying a book for another family by donating to our GiveMN Page. 

We hope you enjoy the packet! Feel free to forward this on to other families. We'd love help in creating another packet this school year. Email us at ecfesouthpac@gmail.com if you have ideas or would like to help out in the future.
