What is the coolest Native American artifact you know?

Q. Corn husk dolls, bow and arrow, etc.

A. A ten foot tall Salish loom. I can't think of why a person would need one so tall, it must have been hell to pack round back in the day. I got to weave on it while working on an exhibit at the Smithsonian, it was found at a sight near Sequim, WA. But Im a weaver, so it was really exciting for me. The other would be a little toy axe, no bigger than a pinki finger, made out of a twig and a sharp pebble, tied around with cherry bark. It was roughly 900 years old (which is nothing compared to some of the artifacts found in the same area, which are about 11,000 years old), and looked like something my little boy would like to play with. Exmining it, with the understanding that several generations ago, a little kid lost that toy while playing outside his/her home touched me, it reminded me of how long my people have been here and living in these EXACT same locations. My own children play on beaches that our ancestors have enjoyed for countless generations...and are no doubtedly leaving behind tidbits of evidence that we were there for future generations to find and examine.

Edit: I also LOVE looking at stone cooking tools, especilly those meant for grinding. Cultures all over the world have been using them for countless generations and to this day you find them in kitchens of well-established cooks.

Edit2: We say dzidzi, skuki, wiw'su, and chachash fr infants and children...not guagua, and the lndbridge theory has been debunked. In addition to this, chinese was not a language spoken 50,000 years ago.


I need a lesson plan for elementary students in Music?
Q. It needs to be on Italy, any music and ideas welcome, i really need help with this, I'm so stuck! and it has to be a music lesson

A. Specially for children - Italian language learning sites featuring nursery rhymes, counting exercises, videos, children's songs, and cartoons. It's never too early to learn a foreign language.

name of an old toy i had as a kid?
Q. it was a plastic doll (harder than a barbie doll, and the hair was plastic and everything) that had a backpack that changed into a high-chair for an infant (the doll was a babysitter). it came with the baby doll, too, i think. i think "babysitter" MAY have been in the name, somehow

this toy would be from the early-to-mid nineties.

first to get it right gets ten points
