Could it be “The Last of the Mohican’s?” It may not be, but it is the last time Chief 10 Bears will be roaming the school halls this year. Today I was at Meadow Montessori school, talking to my wives class. Actually Renee Brooks is in charge and Lorna is her assistant. I’m showing the kids an iron tomahawk, which the Indians traded beaver pelts for. I have two tables set up showing what the Indians gave, and what they received from the trappers in their dealings with one another.
One little girl asked the question “Who gets to wear the headdress? Is it only the chief?” Very good question! They also wanted to know about the eagle feathers in the bonnet, so we just kind of went from there. Usually I don’t have to plan a whole lot in the way of keeping their attention, cause they keep things pretty lively on their own.
I guess I can put things away for awhile, and give “old” Ten Bears a much needed rest. Yeh right! Now I have to start putting the outdoor decorations up, before the snow starts piling up

Nice! Say – my mother in law’s name is Lorna…not a name I see very much. Anyways…sounds like Chief Ten Bears has had a good time and so have the kids!
