Cherokee Heritage

Isaac and Cade started a club last month. It involves 4 families with boys ranging in age from 4-12. They have learned to talk in code, have code names, and are learning interesting things together. The first topic is the history of the Cherokee Indian in this area. So this past thursday, we met with Dave Lavere so he could show us some artifacts and some points of interest.
We walked through the Oconee Heritage Museum. They have two dugout canoes that were really cool. Dave showed everyone a bow and arrow, a blow gun, as well as other artifacts. Then we went to see two trail trees and a place where a Cherokee village used to be. I think everyone learned a lot and had a great time. We will be spending more time on this topic. We plan on making our own bows and arrows next.
Aventure is out there.
