Central & South Americans
After our study of Native North Americans it only made sense to head south to spend a couple of weeks with Native Central and South Americans. This lesson begs for a craft, but we've hit our crafting threshold for now with Girl Scouts. Check out the other resources of interest below for a couple of good books with crafts by Nomad Press. We'll probably use them during our next round of Medieval Times.
