“Wait, this is actually bear skin?!” a Pound Ridge Elementary School fourth grader asked incredulously. The student was petting the soft fur but pulled back her hand quickly when she realized what it was. On display tables around her, there were a variety of artifacts made from animals and other natural elements: a piece of deer jaw that was used to take off corn kernels, a fishbone necklace, a turkey bone whistle.

The artifacts were brought to PRES by Carla Messinger, a Lenape descendant from Pennsylvania, to teach students about Native American culture in celebration of Native American Heritage Month and as part of the fourth-grade curriculum.

“The Lenape people were incredible recyclers,” Messinger told students. “They used and reused everything they could.”

Messinger also spoke about how the Lenape and colonists influenced each other’s cultures, showed traditional clothing, explained how the Lenape were a matriarchal society and so much more. After her talk, students were able to explore all the artifacts she brought with her and ask questions.
