Students at an after-school program in Helena, Montana, are creating their own mini-Indian village as they learn about traditional culture and government.
Students at the Wakina Sky Learning Circle and Center have been building for the past three months. The Black Wolf Clan Indian Village will have its own leaders, society groups, tepees, drums and plastic miniature horses and buffalo.
The students hope to finish by June. They hope a local business or government agency will take the village for a permanent or traveling display.
