Today we worked in the Launchpad to create an artifact that represents the Native American tribe we are studying. What are you creating? Please describe how you are making your artifact. What materials are you using? How does your object represent your tribe?
I am making a ladder as my artifact. The ladder represents how the Hopi traveled from floor to floor. I am using pipe cleaners to make the rungs,toilet paper rolls to make the sides and tape on the outside to hold the pipe cleaners in place. I am half way done.
ReplyDeleteI am a quarter way done
DeleteI am studying the Tonkawas.I am making a headdress. They only wore the headdress on special occasions like ceremonys or dances. To make the headdress I am using white clay, gray leather, white & gray feathers, wire, and white beads.
ReplyDeleteI am making a Kachina doll. A kachina doll teaches Hopi children culture. I am making it with clay, pipe cleaners, and feathers. I might add string to the wrist.
ReplyDeleteI am making a Hammer. The hammer I am making is a sign they Kiowas were Skilled at crafting. I am using animal hide for a handle and popsicle sticks for a place to put the stone (Gray Animal Hide) on it.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone is having a nice day!
I am studying the Comanche. I am doing the bow and arrow because we were very successful at war and it was one of the greatest weapons. For the arrow I am using white and orange clay, straws and white feathers. For the bow I am using tan pipe cleaners, white clay and brown string.
ReplyDeleteI am making a bow and arrow.I am going to try to find a stick for the handle.I will probably decide to use string for the strings.For now I just have pipe cleaners for the strings and popsicle sticks for the handle.For the arrows I will probably decide to use feathers, popsicle sticks and markers.

I am Making a bow and arrow -} it is going Great it repersents how they
ReplyDeletehunted. I put leather as a handle and i found a stick outside on used it as the handle i am still working on the arrow. I hope you have a happy day!
I am studying the Tonkawas. My artifact is the Tepee. The tepee was important to the tonkawas because they moved a lot. They used the tipi because it was easy to put up and take down. It took about 30 minutes to put the tepee up and take it down. The way i am making my tepee is i am going to put pipe cleaners as the sticks on the tepee and for the cover i am going to put fabric on it. I am also going to put a small tonkawa painting on it because the tonkawas had small paintings on the tepee. hope everyone has a good day!
ReplyDeleteI am making a moccasin it is a type of shoe that native american tribes used. I am studying the Black Feet they are big hunters so i chose the moccasin. I am going to use materials like string and leather! I think this is going to be a lot of FUN!
ReplyDeleteI'm making a knife, it was used for cutting buffalo hide for tipis. I'm useing clay and cardboard, maybe in the future I'll use paint for the knife blade (color gray). I love this project so far! Hope everyone has a good nigh! #NativeAmericanArtifacts
ReplyDeleteMy artifact is a basket with corn. The basket is used for gathering crops. The corn is to tell everyone to see that corn is so important to the Cherokee people. So far my crafting has been going well and I think I`m going to like it. Mt peace represents my tribe my showing how important farming was to them. I am making my basket from paper, tape, and cardboard. i am making my corn from clay.
ReplyDeleteI'm making a warrior's headdress. It is important to my tribe because it made enemies intimidated. It helped my tribe because once they saw warriors' headdresses it made them scared and that helped to attack easily because they were scared and that made them afraid. So that they would back down. And it made my tribe successful at war and one of their main symbols that represents their tribe was war and the warrior's headdress represents war. To make it i;m using leather,clay,feathers. Have a nice night.
ReplyDeleteI'm making a snake and the snake rock. I'm going to try to sew the snake and i made the the snake rock out of clay, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, and some straw.
ReplyDeleteI'm making a spear! it was used for hunting in the Blackfoot tribe. I will probably use clay, string, and popsicle sticks or sticks. I will first, I probably will make the arrow head out of clay. Then, I will paint the clay gray. Finally, I will tie the string to the sticks and arrow head. Anyways bye guys!
ReplyDeleteI'm studying the Tonkawa. The artifact I'm making is a doll. Doll's were used by the children they used the doll's to play with. I am making my doll out of clay, gray leather, string and felt. I hope my artifact turns out good. have a nice day!!
ReplyDeleteI'm studying the Blackfoot. The artifact I'm making is a basket with berries inside of it. The basket was used for women to pick plants. I'm making my basket by some net, then cardboard to make it stable, then leather as the handle then some paper turn it red as the berries.
ReplyDeleteI am studying the Comanche. I am making a knife. This symbolizes how the Comanche were fierce and ruthless warriors. They were one of the most successful tribes when it comes to war. The way they made a knife is they took a tree branch or piece of wood and put a piece of flint or steel(..?)on it and wrap rawhide around it. Then, they would dampen the rawhide. Rawhide gets tight when wet. And PRESTO! You have a Comanche knife! Don't try this at home, kids! ☺
ReplyDeleteGoodnight!
