It’s fun for young learners to learn ancient universal fiber technologies, and to make something beautiful from the humblest of plant materials. This experience can help your students gain an appreciation of the traditional ecological knowledge held by First Peoples cultures from around the world, and right here in the Puget Sound Region. As they practice this traditional art form, your students have an opportunity to investigate their own indigenous roots, and to celebrate the cultural and biological wealth of our Earth. Each of the following art experiences includes a preparatory meeting between teacher and artist where you can choose the lesson focus, and we can collaborate on ways to broaden the connections between subjects and make the experience relevant for your students. The lesson emphasis can enhance understanding of concepts related to the following EALRs: Pacific Northwest history and culture. (4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5); Northwest Forest, wetland, open space and shoreline ecosystems. Watersheds and the hydrologic cycle. (4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5); Ethnobotany and relationships between people, plants and wildlife. Cycles of plant growth and change over time and seasons.

(2.1, 3.2, 3.3); Recognizing visual and auditory patterns in nature. Physics of sound.
