A Field Trip to Waterloo

Yesterday we went on a field trip to Waterloo Village  these are some of the things we did there.One  of the thing we did was to go to the long  house and learn about how the  Native Americans lived,and how they dried their food. We also learned that they made  their clothing out of deer skin. At Waterloo  we  also  got to play a game that the Lenape people would play. In the game you would have to throw a corn  cob into a hoop and  to win you would have to get it through the hoop  and into the basket. This was a training for hunting. Another thing we learned was  when the children got there names they had to survive 5 winters before they got a name. This was because most children died before they could survive those  5 winters. Our field trip was great if you ask  us .
