We learned more about the Yuroks

Each of the fourth grades went on our field trip to learn more about the Yurok culture. First Room 8 listened to our ranger tell us a little about what we were going to see.
Notice the doors are round? In their culture, the men went in head first...
and the women went in 'backwards.'
This picture below is Emily going in... even though it looks like she's coming out.
After visiting the 'family homes', we toured the sweatlodge. Normally, women would not be allowed in one. This, however, was a model of a village, so our sweetheart girls were able to go inside. Here is Amber coming out the exit.
Then Emma came out...
After touring the village, we went on a hike - well, sort of. We definitely walked, but our guide didn't have quite as much knowledge as she would have liked. (I was the guide hike...even the park service has budget cuts!)

Since I was preoccupied with the trees, shrubs, wildlife, etc., there were no photos taken!

We then all broke for lunch...and then our third activity which for us was making necklaces.
Macey models her necklace...as does Amber and Austin.

It was a great day...even if the weather was a bit cool!
