The lesson plans and children's activities that accompany this kit may be tailored to fit all elementary grades. Actual objects in the kit include a baby or doll-sized traditional boy's Iroquois outfit, a girl doll in a cradleboard, a ring and pin game that can be replicated by you, using reusable materials found at home and school, plus more! Chosen for their accuracy and authentic information, educational resources include books, videos, and posters that illustrate Native American history and culture from an Akwesasne Mohawk perspective.
