Each student will paint a fabric square of a specific scene from a First Nation story. The scenes will be sewn in sequence on a blanket, which can be used to retell the story again and again—or hung on your school wall for all to admire. A very successful project! Story choices are: How Raven Brought Light to the World The Story of the First Potlatch Salmon Boy
