Iroquois

==// **Knots o** //// **n** //// **a Counting Rope** // which is a homework assignment during this unit is the story of a blind ** Iroquois ** boy! Jesus is the true Savior! He died for all of us. He took his life to cover our sins! ==


 * Iroquois used all parts of the animals that they killed. They used the bones to make necklaces and tools. They used stones and bones to make arrows. They used the skins to make their houses and clothes. They tried to use every part of the animal, because they knew that the animals could go away and they did not want to waste anything.
 * Iroquois lived in longhouses. Lots of families lived in each longhouse. The family's clan symbol was placed in the front on their longhouse. Longhouses were made from trees and the bark of trees.
 * Iroquois did not go to school like us. They stayed at home and learned from their parents. Boys learned from the other men how to kill animals and make tools. The girls learned from the women how to cook and clean animals.
 * Iroquois played sports. They had running competitions, and played lacrosse. They used a long stick with a net on the end. It was used to throw a ball. People still play lacrosse today!

__**Dolls**__ //The doll agreed, and attempted to be more humble. But one day, walking by a creek, she glanced into the water and stopped to admire the beauty of her reflection. The Creator sent a giant screech owl down from the sky to snatch her reflection from the water. When she then glanced into the water again to admire her beauty, her reflection was gone. She could no longer see her beautiful face.// //Ever since, when an Iroquois mother gives a doll to her child, she usually gives a doll with no face, and tells the legend of the Corn-Husk doll.//
 * The Legend:** //The three sisters of the Iroquois are Corn, Beans and Squash. In the beginning, the Corn spirit asked the Creator for more ways to help her people. So the Creator began forming a doll from her husks, creating for it a beautiful face, and giving it to the children of the Iroquois. But the doll, as it passed from child to child, continually proclaimed her beauty, until she became so vain that the Creator was upset with her. If she continued, the Creator warned, he would have to punish her.//
