CCASM at the Library

Thursday October 10 Barbara Kane, representing CCASM, took the archeobotany seed activity to the Waldorf West Library as part of the Library's afternoon programs for children 6-11.  Patricia Bowie read a story about Sacagawea, and Barbara related the "Tale of the Three Sisters" that explained why the Native American planted corn, beans, and squash together.  Then the children had to find and identify seeds of corn, various beans, squash, cornflower, and onion.  The seeds found were taped to a sheet that the children could take home.  Barbara was assisted by her niece Debora Storey.
