| Here's what others are saying about our programs | Excellent one hour Videoconference with a Blackfoot Native Guide. We learned about "Living Off The Land" a thousand years ago. We learned about the Buffalo Culture and how the Buffalo provided everything needed for food, clothing, shelter, tools and even toys long ago! We learned about Napi and Coyote and how they helped create the ancient world of myth and nature. We loved it! | |
