Live, Dynamic & Interactive!
Learn about three different Native American cultures – Eastern Woodlands, Plains, and Southwest. Participate in activities that focus on the use of natural resources from different regions and how these resources shaped their lives in regard to clothing, shelter, and transportation. Explore the Hopi culture and discuss how kachinas (or ancestral spirits) are represented as figurines and masks for ceremonial purposes.
Plus, everyone gets to learn about how hand puppets work, see a real puppet from the Center’s collection – and build their very own Hopi Kachina hand puppet during the workshop!

Puppet Activity: Hopi Kachina Hand Puppet
You will receive a study guide containing the puppet template to print and cut out along with a list of puppet-making materials each student will need to build the puppet during the workshop.
These materials are easy-to-find, low-cost items that can often be found in the classroom. The study guide also includes optional classroom activities you can choose to incorporate into your lesson plan either before or after seeing the program. (These optional classroom activities are different from the activities included by our instructor in the virtual program.) Additional study guide contents include suggested online and library resources regarding the program topic and a list of academic standards supported by this program.
