Island of the Blue Dolphins Trip

Just a few weeks ago I went on Blakes School field trip. The subject was to investigate the various survival tools a female native american resorted to when stranded on an island, Robinson Crusoe style, for about 20 years. They showed how they made string from yucca and canoe (over time)and making fire with sticks. Teachers and parents read native indian stories to the children at rotating camps on the beach.
