More than two dozen children learned about their history and heritage during the four-day Pointe-au-Chien Indian Tribe Culture Camp that ended Saturday.
Camp organizer Christine Verdin said it felt good to be back for the ninth annual camp after last year s session was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Twenty-seven children ages 8-15, most members of the local Native American tribe, participated.
“It’s great seeing the kids all together and how they’ve grown in the last two years,” Verdin said. “It’s good to teach them about their ancestors, learn through the week about them and introduce how all of them are family.”
