The Field Trip at Waterloo Village

Last week we went to Waterloo Village. We learned about longhouses and mostly about Native Americans. We also got to play games that they played. For example, they had nothing to do with their corn cobs so they would make hoops to throw through for spear throwing practice. Also they would all get sick at times. For example, if you had a cold you would go to a doctor like the kid ones today and if you were really sick you would go to the shaman. At one time the European people came and had lots of sicknesses and when they traded they gave the Native Americans the sicknesses.  It killed 50% of that tribe! Our favorite part was when we tried to make a fire. That was our trip to Waterloo Village.
