The Big Island Rendezvous and Festival

It was very wet today at the rendezvous. We started off the day by visiting a British solider in his military camp.  We then went  to the tomahawk throw and all students were able to try throwing the tomahawks. 

 

From there we learned how the teddy bear is named after Teddy Roosevelt. 

 

After our lunch we headed to the french fur trade where we were able to see the items that the traders had brought to trade.  Many of us wanted to buy things. 

 

Our afternoon consisted of learning how to trap animals, tanning hides, and we visited a wood maker.  A the very last stop we were able to use fabric paint and quills with real ink.  Hopefully we didn't get ink on our clothes!   Even thou it was raining we still had a great day.
