The Longhouse

This week we're learning about the Iroquois Indians. Little Bear, from The Indian in the Cupboard, is Iroquois so we're tying it in. The kids learned that this tribe didn't live in tepees, but instead lived in what is called a longhouse. We made our own paper longhouse, each child got to color a section of it. Jacob wants to make a bigger one out of popsicle sticks complete with the fencing that would have been around the village of longhouses.
