At the last Rolling Prarie Learning Lab at the Lawrence Public Library, Rachel Myslivy taught several children how to make little "love packages" out of grasses and cottonwood leaves. As you can see, they became fairly elaborate. I was told that this one contained two flowers.
Rachel also had the "Bison Box" materials out. This is a box made out of bison hide, and filled with different bison parts that were processed in the same way that the Native Americans would have. This horn, for example, might have been used to carry gunpowder or liquids.
That may be true, but Duncan says, "If I hold this up to a buffalo's ear, he can hear the ocean!"
