WHAT’S 48CK302? SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION CODE FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES

This coding system was developed for archaeological sites.

• 48 refers to the alphabetical order of state –not including Alaska or Hawaii

• CK refers to the county within the state – Crook

302 is the site number in the order it became a site. Make a 48CK302 book to take home. Explain the code to your family.

I.D. BRACELET FOR FIELD TRIPS

Vicky Blackwell’s site includes

Denise Girgas’ I.D. bracelet for field trips: photo, name, school, phone. Click below.

Clear 2 inch wide tape or clear contact paper makes them more durable. Incorporate a self-

locking strip from cooking bags to make the bracelet more secure.

AMERICAN INDIAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

How many ways can you use their book reviews, livestream, book awards?

B. J. Bison’s Suggestions: Pick a review, make a word cloud to make anything such as:

cardstock bracelets, bumper stickers, caps, t-shirts. Display them at a library, book store, or

museum, the county fair, and community events.

MAKE A MODEL TIPI, PARFLECHE, BLACKFOOT ELK LODGE COURTESY OF

PAUL GOBLE’S BOOK: TIPI HOME OF THE NOMADIC BUFFALO HUNTERS

Author/Illustrator, Paul Goble has alerted teachers and librarians about pages that can be duplicated and enlarged to make a model tipi pages 34, 35, parfleche page 50, and a Blackfoot Elk Lodge page 65.

On Author’s Note page 5 Mr. Goble shares:

“ In this work, I have always been conscious that I am painting people’s most personal dreams. It has been done out of admiration, wishing not to offend the spirits of the original owners of the tipis, their present-day descendants, nor the blessed bird or animal spirits, who gave these

designs to people in dreams.

A Note for Teachers and Librarians

Over the years you have sent me many photographs and letters about projects which you have

carried out with your students on aspects of Native American Culture. You have forwarded your students’ letters and paintings, which I have faithfully answered! Time and again I have noticed your need of help with tipis, their construction, and above all their painted designs. Here there are design ideas galore, which I hope will be helpful, and pages to photocopy for students to cut and color model tipis.

A Special Note for Young Readers

When I was your age my mother made me a small tipi and painted it with Native American symbols. It excited my interest, and made me want to know more. This book is the kind of book I began looking for, but never found. So I have made it for you. I hope you enjoy it, like I have loved the thrill of discovering all these stories and gloriously colored tipis.”

TRIANGLE BOOK

Good for any topic. Cut many squares all the same size out of any type of paper. Fold squares in half to make 2 wide based isosceles triangle shaped pieces. Find the middle of the wide base of the triangle and fold the triangle in half. Staple several folded triangles together

to form a triangle book.

ONE PAGE ‘KEEP ON FOLDING’ TRIANGLE BOOK

Use any size of a rectangular piece of paper. Consider using 8.5 x 10.5 paper in white,

color, or double sided color. Fold up the right bottom corner to meet the edge of the left side.

There will be a long rectangle at the top of the triangle shape you just made. Fold the

rectangle down over the triangle shape. There will be a small triangle to left to fold over the

large triangle.

Decide where you are going to put the title, author’s name, publishing company, bar code.

Howdy, I am B. J. Bison with some ways to share the Vore Buffalo Jump. Hmm… What ‘Make and Take’ one of a kind projects can be made to have as a souvenir of the Vore Buffalo Jump? What careers are needed for the Vore Buffalo Jump to exist and to include in the Archaeologist - Zoologist: Vore Buffalo Jump Book of Careers?
