The Lakota or Western Sioux were nomadic tribesmen who used every portion of the
buffalo in an effort to survive. The animal's life is highly respected and regarded.
See many different ways the buffalo are fashioned into clothing, tools, toys and much
more. Try your hand at scraping a piece of deer skin, handle buffalo bone tools and
feel the warmth of real buffalo skins. Explore the differences in roles of men and
women in ages past. Learn games that children used to teach them essential life
skills. A great addition to Scouting dinners, multicultural fairs, and library reading
programs. Presentations range from 45 minutes to one hour with multiple sessions
throughout a day available. Curriculum information is available for teachers.

2006 brings in change to Spirit of the Eagle Presentations.    In the past many have
inquired about the possibility of bringing the tipi indoors, now it is possible! I have
recently acquired a 16 foot tipi (with 20 foot poles) that should fit inside most schools
gymnasiums! Students will be given a unique "view through" experience while they
explore tipi living. While sitting outside of the tipi children learn about the
construction of the home and physical attributes, then it is opened up to expose the
inside and all that is involved. Once exposed they will learn about tipi etiquette, and
even education of children in this highly informative presentation.   Students will also
learn about the buffalo and its role in Native life. Important values such as respect,
tradition and generosity are demonstrated. Hand crafted items are used in the
program constructed as in the past. Many items are even distributed for individual
viewing! Life on the Plains often is chosen as a full day event, but other options are
available.   Curriculum information is available for teachers.
