Lenape Rainbow Crow Art! (Kids of All Ages)

Lenape Rainbow Crow Art! (Kids of All Ages) In November, we celebrate Native American Heritage Month , which recognizes the many contributions to American society, culture, literature, art, and science by Indigenous peoples throughout history and today. Native American Heritage Month has been officially recognized by the federal government since President George H.W. Bush approved a joint resolution in 1990. In this kit, we are focusing on the Lenape Nation, a tribe that has been a part of what is now the NY-NJ-PA-DE area for over 10,000 years . In this kit, you will receive: All the materials needed to create your own Rainbow Crow art (crow template, crayons, etching tool, and instructions) Background information on the Lenape Nation and the original legend of the Rainbow Crow Activity sheet on NJ towns with Indigenous names Laminated bookmark of a current or historical Native American person (these vary and will be selected at random) Crafts can be picked up on THURSDAY, November 5th from 2 PM to 6 PM. Curbside is available. WE WILL HOLD YOUR CRAFTS UNTIL FRIDAY AT 5 PM AS LONG AS YOU CONTACT US IN ADVANCE .
