James Jenkins from the NYS Museum Education Program teaching students at Donald P. Sutherland Elementary School about the Haudenosaunee.

Fourth grade students at Donald P. Sutherland Elementary School were able to see and touch Native American artifacts from the NYS Museum collection during an activity in the school library last month. The activity was part of the Social Studies curriculum about Indigenous peoples of New York and helped students learn more about the Haudenosaunee, or the “People of the Longhouse.”

Special thanks to James Jenkins from the New York State Museum Education program for visiting DPS!
