The First People

Your trip through time continues with the history of Native Americans in North America. The First People features a full-size wigwam and tipi, an American Bison, and a dugout canoe that you can climb into! Learn about many different Native Americans, and make sure to visit the video kiosk on your way out to learn what it’s like to live in a wigwam, hear Native American stories, and watch a Pow Wow!
