Indian Head Gear
Cardboard
Stapler
Scissors
Cut the cardboard into strips about 4 Cm's wide and long enough to go around each child's head.
Let the children glue on scraps of paper and beads for decoration. You can cut out some oval shapes out of colored paper and fringe down each side to make paper feathers.
Real feathers can be bought bulk from craft supply stores for just a few dollars.
Once the glue has dried measure it around each child's head and staple it securely.

no matter how much we stress that it is offensive the western society will still have their views and opinions of first nations people....
but thats ok, its their kids that will be running around with these "head dresses" on looking like idiots!
This project is for use as an educational tool, You can not expect a child to create a realistic head piece. I think the importance of education is being overlooked here the children as still learning about Native Americans.
This is very offensive to Native Americans. Our feathers are something considered sacred. Using something like this is akin to swinging a rosary your head and running through the house while playing tag. Most people would be offended by that and that's why we are offended by something like this. Please don't tell us we are being overly sensitive or that you "think" it is okay...it is not.
It says its for pre-schoolers... I personally think it's a good project for a preschooler.
I also find this offensive becasue I am native american and this looks foolish & i hate it when stupid shit like this is posted about us because it THIS IS NOT HOW WE EVEN LOOKED!! our culture & beliefs are sacred they do not need to be made fun out of!!
Oh my goodness...its for kids to do!! why do you find it offensive!!
I find this offensive to Native American heritage and culture. It does not include the teachings or the significance of the design elements or the materials used.
ITS to much for kids middle schoolers need something more mature please
I like it
need more paper crafts
