Nantucket’s Native American, the Wampanoag’s left many rich traditions, but no built structures. This group will meet to plan, make models, gather materials, and re-created Native American structures with the Nantucket Preservation Trust. Children will gather at the NHS or the Coffin School for this in depth study of the Wampanoag’s their culture and traditions and a “hands on” architectural design and building project. Bus transportation will be provided from the Nantucket Elementary School to the Coffin School or NHS on Tuesdays. Children need to bring a healthy snack and drink each week. Our first few sessions will meet at the Coffin School, with an important parent meeting on our first day, October 5th, at 3:45pm, to go over program details. Please be sure that a parent or guardian is present. In general, our group will finish at 4:00 pm, and children need to be picked up promptly.
