For thousands of years, Indians have lived along the Northwest Coast of North America, hunting seals, whales, salmon and other food from the sea. Such tribes as the Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, Kwakiutl and Nootka are native to this region. With this easy-to-use authentic model, youngsters can assemble a typical Northwest Coast Indian village, complete with totem poles, decorated dugout canoe, cedar plank house, carvings of gods and ancestors that decorate the house, and more. Also included are Indians in authentic dress and in ceremonial costume, a man with a speared fish, a woman pounding grain, and other figures. Simple and safe to assemble (no scissors required), this punch-out Indian village is ideal for class projects or fun at home--a hands-on way to introduce children to the life and distinctive culture of the Northwest Coast Indians.
