POETRY “Eastern Woodlands Day” by Tommy, grade 5 The canoe was gliding through the water. Ploosh, ploosh went the paddles. Waiting for a fish to spear. Women putting up wigwams and stripping bark. Kkkkt went the bark as it was peeled from the tree. Big, bold, birch bark panels. Wooossshhh went the arrow as it went into the hanging target. Tears of joy came out when the boy killed his first deer. This was a great Eastern Woodlands day. “Eastern Woodlands Poem”by Elizabeth, grade 5 As we were in the canoe the sound of it goes swish swoosh swish swoosh, it is relaxing it is drizzling raid drip drop drip drop swish swoosh swish swoosh. We see a rapid running rabbit on the other side.

GAMES The Moccasin Game To play the moccasin game, four moccasins, a pebble, and a stick are needed as well as two teams. One player of each team was the singer. The singer's job was to encourage his or her own team, while jeering at the other team. One player was the keeper. His job was to hide the pebble in one of the moccasins. The keeper would move his hands rapidly over the moccasins. Even after he dropped the pebble, he would continue to move his hands rapidly, to fool the other team. When the drum stopped, he stopped. The Finder: One player was the finder. The finder had to turn each moccasin over until he found the pebble. There was a complicated scoring system. Several rounds were played. A game of Moccasins could go on for hours. It was a very noisy game, and deeply enjoyed by the players. Butterfly Hide and Seek: Butterfly Hide and Seek was a quiet game. Children were taught never to hurt a butterfly. To the Ojibwa people, it was considered a gift of good luck if you stayed so quiet that a butterfly would trust you and land on you. Little girls played the butterfly game. One girl covered her eyes and sang a song. "Butterfly, butterfly, show me where to go." All the other little girls would quickly and quietly hide. The singer had to find them without saying another word. It was a game of skill. If you were observant, you could tell where people were hiding by the marks they left as they moved around.
