Native American Ecology

Rob's residency begins with an overview that familiarizes students with core information about the Lenape and other Native Nations they are studying. Students learn the philosophies and practices inherent to the balance of daily living and nature in Native American cultures. Students use natural materials to make cordage (string) from plant fibers and then make rope, children's toys and dolls. Rob has studied and taught pre-colonial Native American culture for 25 years. He regularly visits and lives with Native Peoples from New England to California, serving as Master of Ceremonies at pow-wows and making presentations at historical and cultural museums.
