Every year the seventh grade class takes a field trip to the Mille Lacs Indian Museum and learns about either their culture or their peers’. In our area there aren't many large and different ethnic groups but one of the better known around here is the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. In Mille Lacs Minnesota there is a museum dedicated to their culture and educating everyone about their history.
While the seventh graders were there they were taught about how the tribe moved around and adapted to the different types of weather that Minnesota gave them. During the day they got to learn about their different types of languages, play with the different things that they had to keep busy, their music, powwows, and get the tour of their popular Four Seasons Room. The Four Seasons Room consists four parts, each part has a different setting in a different season, a tour guide will bring you through their way of life and how they lived their life with the good and harsh Minnesotan weather. The things that student are educated on at this trip consists of, why their ancestors did what they did, understand the history around this area and understand all the traditions and events, some of which still happen today. The tour also is a great way to see how far the culture has come and how it has brought together many different people. It benefits some students on how their ancestors lived, how they adapted and grew as a ethnic group, and how others around the have grew with them. It is an overall great learning experience for everyone and is definitely an opportunity all people should take advantage of.
