Early Peoples Cultural Revelation Project

 

Chattanooga, Tennessee schools and library branches learned

about Early Peoples around the world and created over

250 cultural masks as part of the iEARN

(International Education and Resource Network)

Learning Circles Early Peoples Symbols

Project for the Spring Learning Circles session.

The Friends of the Chattanooga Public Library received a

grant from the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga

to enable us to reach out into the community to connect children

to the library and conduct cultural research on Early People around the world. Two elementary schools, McConnell Elementary and Orchard Knob Elementary joined us for this exciting project.
