Beaver county Indians

The Paiute Indians lived in Beaver county.They were peaceful people. They had very few possessions. They moved from place to place with the change of the seasons. The tribes were in a constant search  for food. For shelter they use caves or built a dome structure from brush. The women were good at making baskets. Hunting was not a skill men were good  at. Some of the areas they lived in were the Rocky Mountains and deserts. They believe everything has energy.

Thanksgiving

At Thanksgiving I tried Jell-O with pomegranates in it. I didn't really like it because it was to sour and juicy.

Coat of Arms

I made a coat of arms. It has an acorn because it means antiquity and strength, I have a bow and arrow with a target that means you are ready for war, I have a snake that means you worship God, I have a baseball because I play it and love it. I like my coat of arms because everything represents me.
