A Pacific Northwest Coast Experience

Travel back in time to assist a coastal community to prepare for winter. Help the village by sustainably harvesting natural resources to ensure food security not only for the winter but for always.

Can you cooperate and follow protocols to complete harvesting tasks without damaging the environment on which the people, plants, and animals depend? Harvest cedar bark and planks for weaving and building. Pull a salmon from a gillnet to bring to the smokehouse. Harvest and maintain a camas field and collect salmonberries. Can players take what they’ve learned from elders and knowledge keepers to construct a new sustainable village up the coast? 

Learn about the rich culture and traditional ecological knowledge that the Coastal Peoples have maintained since time immemorial. Explore the world with a STEAM lens, discovering incredible cross-curricular connections in a holistic learning environment.
