Native American Culture

Fire Bear playing a Native American Flute.

Clays Mill Elementary was excited to host a Native American by the name of Fire Bear on Monday. Students learned about the Native American culture from Fire Bear. He is a member of the Choctaw Nation from Oklahoma. Take a look at some of the interesting things students learned from him and Acorn Woman today. 

Fire Bear told us the Native American legends "Why Rabbits have
a Short Tail" and "The Rabbit and the Possom" using his drum.
