In honor of National Native American Heritage Month, The Institute for American Indian Studies will be visiting Hindley’s 4th and 5th graders on November 15th! Darlene Kasak, a member of the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation, will introduce students to the lives of Native Americans in the past through an interactive presentation that examines depictions of a Native village and the significant roles within the community. She will discuss how the environment shaped daily life and what natural resources were necessary for survival. Students will also experience how stories were used to teach important lessons and will interact with Indigenous cultural items and resources
