Fieldtrip to THE INSTITUTE FOR AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES

Passing this along from Diane Connors, please email her in the next 2 days if you are interested drmomoften@hotmail.com

THE INSTITUTE FOR AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES
38 Curtis Road
Washington, CT

I have a field trip planned for my Native American Indian class and we're opening it up to anyone who would like to use the opportunity
to enjoy this trip, also.

It's going to be $8 per person - possibly $7 if there are enough people - (fee is for children AND adults of all ages). It's geared for kids who are about 8/9 - 15/16 years old.

Here is the website if you'd like to look. We've been before and really this website does not do this place justice. http://www.iaismuseum.org/
It's really a must see if you have any interest in Indian culture.

The trip will be on Friday, March 23rd. Start time is 10:30 AM.

I MUST KNOW IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO ATTEND WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS. I am giving the facility a final headcount by the end of the day this Wednesday, February 29th, to secure the payment amount, so please do not delay.
I need a headcount for all adults and children, please. I'll give you further information to send payment to me promptly in order to secure your space for the group trip.


You can bring lunch. There is no cafe.

As you can see on the website, there is indoor space to tour and it includes hands-on activities, as well as a really great space with tipis outdoors, too.

Hope to see you at the Indian Museum !!!
