Wichita: The Magic City

GRADE 3   Wichita Indians


The class spends one half of its tour viewing the 1865-1874 portion of the Magic City exhibit on early Wichita history and the other half participating in hands-on activities relating to the Wichita Indian culture. Handling buffalo products like those made by the Wichita Indians, playing one of their guessing games, sampling buffalo jerky, and singing a song about the grasshopper invasion involve students in the people and events of early Wichita.
