An Indian's life on the southern plains was not one of luxury. Indians were nomadic and had to carry their worldly possessions with them. This distance learning program will discuss the MVPs, Most Valuable Possessions, of the southern plains Indian tribes. Using artifacts from the museum's Southern Plains Indian Trunk and historical photos, we will discuss life on the southern plains. Students will also craft their own Indian names using symbols and pictures.

This program features art and writing along with history and appreciation. Students will color a poppy and write a short letter to a veteran while learning about the symbolism and tradition around the poppy more than 100 years after it became the symbol of WWI. We recommend sending your poppy letters to veteran organizations such as Honor Flights which fly veterans from all over the country to DC to see the national monuments to WWII and Vietnam. Information will be provided.
