Description: The
daily life of Connecticut’s original inhabitants is described using the
Yale Peabody Museum’s dioramas and artifacts. In the 1600s Native
Americans did many things differently than we do today. Discussion is
geared to the grade level and interests of the group. Time is allowed
for students to formulate questions and ideas based on the exhibition.
Topics such as the difference in attitudes toward the land, tool-making
and materials, and the basic issues of population density can be
covered, at the teacher's request.
