Dr. Jones goes to the retirement home for his monthly rounds. He sees Joe and asks him, “Joe, how much is three times three?” Joe responds “59.” He goes over to Tom and asks, “Tom, how much is three times three?” Tom responds, “Wednesday.” He finally goes over to John and asks, “John, how much is three times three?” “NINE” replies John. “That’s right ...now how did you come to that answer?” “It was easy...I just subtracted 59 from Wednesday!”

You’re in great health

Storytelling is an important part of Native American culture and history.Many tribes tell the stories of their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents through oral histories, dances and ceremonies that preservetheir culture and heritage for future generations.

The Tlingit tribe from the Pacific Northwest coast of Canada and Alaskahas told its stories for centuries by making beautiful totem poles.

A totem pole is a tall sculpture that is made from a huge tree. An artistcarves a totem pole with pictures of wildlife, nature, mythical creaturesand even people. Often, whatever is put on the top of the totem pole isthe creature of the most importance, and what is put on the bottom is theleast important.

Animals often depicted on totem poles are eagles, bears, seals, mooseand salmon. All of these animals can be found around the areas wherethe Tlingit tribe lives.

Follow the directions below to make your own paper towel totem pole.

• One paper towel tube (empty)• Construction paper• Scissors• Crayons• Glue

First, color and cut out the totem pole faces that are to the left: bear,eagle, turtle and person. If you like, you can draw your own animals,too!

Then, decide which order you would like the animals on the totem poleto be in. Remember, the most important goes on top.

Next, glue your animals on the paper towel roll in the order you decide.Use the construction paper to add wings and arms to your animals.Draw the wings so they stay connected in the middle, cut them out, andglue them to the back of the paper towel roll.

Native Americans used totem poles to tell history
