13 Snacks to Go igrow readers Nutrition 2 Directions: Point out that Tiblo and Tanski had dried fruit cakes in their village that could be taken on a hike. If possible obtain a sample of a Tanka Bar or wasna (pemmican) made from a traditional Lakota recipe for children to taste. 20 minutes Equipment: Snack choice cards Trail mix recipe handout Trail mix ingredients: dried fruit, whole grain cereals, pretzels, nuts Bowls and scoops Sealable plastic bags Tanka Bar order from com/ Cornmeal Wasna preppersnetwork. com/2010/01/food-itemswe-have-in-bug-out-back. html Ask: What makes a snack a good one to travel with? (small, firm, won t melt, tasty, provides energy). Hold up the three snack cards in turn and ask, Which is the better snack? (high fiber granola bar versus candy bar, trail mix versus skittles, bran and fruit muffin versus a brownie). Discuss the value of fruit and whole grain together in a snack to provide both quick and long lasting energy. Let s make a good snack for traveling. It is called trail mix. It contains dried fruit for sweet taste, chewy texture, and quick energy. It contains whole grain cereal for long lasting energy and a fun crunch. It sometimes contains nuts for long lasting energy and crunch. Give children a small plastic sealable bag. Provide bowls with a variety of dried fruit, whole grain cereals (Cheerios, wheat chex, graham squares), mini-pretzels and nuts (check for food allergies among the children) and scoops. Have the children create their own trail mix. Option: If you have access to ingredients for wasna, have children prepare or sample this snack. Page 13

18 Trail Walk igrow readers Physical 1 Activity Guide: Explain that the group will go on a walk outside like Tiblo and Tanski did but that you will try really hard not to get lost. 20 minutes Connection: Children will go on a walk outdoors like Tiblo and Tanski. They will find natural items in the outdoor environment. Equipment: Trail Walk Guide Handout For indoors: Varied handouts with pictures of several natural items to find Give each child a page with pictures or a list of several things to look for on your trail walk. These will be things like a small wild animal, a large insect, a black stone, a berry or flower, a bird, a circle symbol, a feather, a seed from a tree, a puddle of water. Have children call out when they see something that is on their list. Tiblo and Tanski forgot to pay attention to their surrounding. When done with the walk discuss how and why Native American children had to be very alert to the things around them. Indoor or small space option: Place small items or pictures around the room before the children enter. Have them hunt for the items on an indoor trail walk. Science Connection: NGSS: Science addresses questions about the natural and material world. Page 18

20 Triangle Tag Activity Guide: This activity will take place in a large open space. Create groups of four youth. Three students join hands to form a triangle. Two are designated as Wolf who will be the protector. One is the Very Important Person (VIP) who is to be protected. WOLF igrow readers Physical 2 DANGER + The 4th student is Danger and stands outside of the triangle. VIP WOLF 15 minutes Connection: The Wolf kept the children safe from harm. In this game youth will try to protect their very important person from being tagged by someone representing danger. Equipment: Tape or cones See example at watch?v=szll5s0uksm Mark a spot on the floor inside each triangle as an anchor spot which must stay inside their triangle. The object is for the Wolves to protect their VIP from Danger. On signal, Danger attempts to tag the VIP by circling around the outside of the triangle. Protectors ( wolves ) rotate and move away from Danger to protect the VIP from being tagged. Wolves and VIP must keep hands joined and stay on their feet around the marked spot. Reaching through the triangle is not allowed. Switch roles on signal. Page 20

21 Oceti SAKOWIN All My Relatives Mitakuye Oyasin Activity Guide: Q: What was important to the children in the story? A: Get home, find some food, find shelter. Q: Who helped them to get those things? A: Wolf 20 minutes Connection: The Lakota/Dakota/Nakota traditional belief is that all of the natural world is related. Not only living things but also rocks, mountains, sun, etc. We will explore some connections. Equipment: Several copies of the farm picture or projector and screen/ wall. Science Connection: NGSS: Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World. Q: How did the children and the animals in this story get along? A: Accepted each other, helped each other 1. Tell the children: The people of the Great Sioux Nation believe that all things are related not just people and animals but land, wind, thunder, fire, and sun. This is called Mitakuye Oyasin (pronounced: mee- tah-koo-yay oy-yah-seen) or All My Relatives by the Lakota. Stories of the Lakota often use words like fish people (for creatures that live in the water), stone people, star nation, sun father, and grandmother earth. 2. We are going to practice to see how this idea of everything is related is true. Show the picture of the farm scene by projecting onto the wall or screen or pass out copies so that all children can see the picture. 3. Instruct them to look at the picture of this farm scene. Describe how each thing in the picture is related to something else in the picture. Some leading questions: Q: What do the plants need to grow? A: Soil, sun, water, someone to plant them, bees to pollinate them. Page 21

A: Extend the obvious clouds will make rain, soil has minerals, point out that the plants are food for animals and people to make them healthy. Q: Do you see any buildings? What are they for? A: Homes for the farmers, store the crops over winter, store the machinery for planting and harvesting the crop, protection for farm animals. Q: Do you see any animals in this field? Do you think there are any? What? What do they do? A: Probably insects like bees, butterflies, moths, ladybugs; probably mice or voles, rabbits, deer, skunks, foxes or coyotes. Q: Do you see any people? Where would they be? What do they do? A: At the farm, driving a tractor or other machinery or a delivery truck; maybe at home cooking or eating a meal from the field. Q: We have described a lot of relatives in this picture. Do you think this is a good way to think of the world? A: Encourage children to explain their answers.
