Part of the Beads & Buckskins presentation
We pride ourselves on being able to answer any question you may have, if in a rare instance we do not know the answer we will do research for the questioner and get back to them later.
All of these topics can be adapted for any age range.
*No spiritual ceremonies are taught, instead, the Hollywood myths are straightened out, so that the 'savage, heathen' image that has plagued the People for so long is removed.
