Today the STAMPS group ventured for almost three hours to
Washita National Battlefield. When we were traveling to the National Park it looked like we were in the middle of no where! Once we got to the park the view was amazing. It was all hills and prairie. So we entered the Park's Visitor Center and three friendly
NPS Rangers greeted us inside as well as outside. The first activity of the day was visiting a replica of a Cheyenne
tipi. I learned that when a Native American tribe kills a bison they use every part of it--literally. Right after learning about the Cheyenne Tribe we learned about the different types of medical attention the Cheyenne had and what
Cutler had. My
favorite park of the day was
actually getting to go and walk through the place when this great
masseur happened. I feel today was
meant for us to stop and give a moment of silence.

Awesome! Glad you guys are having so much fun. I felt the moment of silence though your words. You all did a great job.

Wow! It sounds like you are all having fun with a lot of learning mixed in. I love it! CJ, your blog was BEAUTIFULLY written. I'm proud of you! Don't step in any bison droppings. MS. H
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and what a wonderful opportunity for me to learn from you. Your words helped me "feel" the prairie. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing. The Native Americans at that time used everything in their environment with as little waste as possible. What ecologists and environmentalists they were!
What are all the colored scarfs in the tree in the picture? Is the tree at the site of the massacre?
