Totem Poles

The Discoverers learned that Native American communities had different ways to keeping the stories of their culture alive. It depended on the resources where they lived. The Native Americans of the Southwest used clay to create Storytellers, but the Native Americans of the Pacific West used trees to create totem poles. After researching the story behind the totem poles, The Discoverers met in their tents to create an animal that would represent us and tell our story.
