This was our last project of the year and I think it was my favorite project to do because of the historical aspect that it has. This project shows how Native Americans used buffalo hide to communicate or tell stories. First we painted the background to show the warm colors of the sunset and that is what it is suppose to represent. Then we created a story and drew the symbols to show that story. My story says; At sun up I went hunting for buffalo in the mountains. At night I made a bonfire to keep me warm. This was a very fun project to be creative.

An extension of this would be to learn all of the different ways the Native Americans used parts of the buffalo. (they used every single part somehow) After we create this in class the next class we will create something else that could be made from a buffalo part.
