Native American Waniyetu Wowapi (winter count) Lesson Plans

Your students will learn about winter counts, which are a pictographic record of historical events for a tiospaye (community). Many Plains Indians used the winter count to preserve history. Significant events are recorded for future generations. During this lesson, your students will create a class winter count, learn about nature dyes, and compare their drawings to original images.
