Family Event (ages 9+)

Zoe Eddy (Wendat-Huron, Mohawk), Graduate Student in Archaeology, Department of Anthropology, Harvard University

Native Americans built different types of homes to address
the challenges of widely varied environments. In this program, families will explore ancient engineering while constructing simple models of a sod house, a wetu, a plank house, and a tipi, and they will have the opportunity to compare Native American homes in the museum exhibit dioramas.

Designed for adults and children to share; at least one adult requested for every four children.

Regular museum admission rates apply.
Advance reservations required: peabody.harvard.edu.

Presented in collaboration with the Cambridge Science Festival
