Today we spent a few hours at the Royal Alberta Museum. I love that place! Sam and Abigails favourite gallery was the Aboriginal Displays. Sam spent ages looking at a display showing how Native Canadians killed Bison and used all the different parts of the bison. They had speared the bison and there was blood coming from the bison's nose. Sam had so many questions and kept going back for another look and took Abigail back to point things out.
We moved on to a display showing Native Canadian Women fishing in a river and cooking the fish - feeding parts of the fish to their dogs...
Last night we watched Little People Big World. The Native American community of Oregon had built a plank house on the Roloff Farm and had held a ceremony to bless the house for the Roloff's...they had worn their amazing costumes for the ceremony and I had explained to Abigail that we would see costumes like those at the museum - I told her about a costume belonging to someone named 'Stabbed By Mistake' and how his costume was at the museum - so today we went to find his costume and Abby had her picture taken by it - you can see that above.
