Seneca Story and Seneca Clan Symbol Art with Bill Crouse - For the first project, listen to the story, “How the Chipmunk Got His Stripes” as Bill draws a bear and a chipmunk. Follow along, and copy him step-by-step to make your own illustration. In the second project, Bill discusses the use of bird and animal symbols to represent family lines or clans in the Seneca tribe through the drawing of a Hawk with a landscape in its wings. Watch as he sings and drums during the lessons! (2 videos plus an extra video of Seneca music and drumming ~ For grades K-5 (with parent’s help), 6-12, OSY, and adults)
