Wednesday 27 November 2013 45 Min Inquiry

The four pictures are of a Totem Pole, Inuit Boots, Tiki and a Boomerang.

The Inuit boots are originated from greenland and are worn by Arctic aboriginal people. The are made from seal skin or reindeer hide, they wear them to be more warm and silent when hunting preys.  They look like very high boots and have art painted on them.

The other photo was of a Totem Pole. They are made by Native Americans with the trunk of a Thuja Plicata tree. They paint them with red and white paint and place them in forests.

The Tiki is a large wooden carving or by stone. They are made by Maori's in New Zealand and they are mostly named after the Maori gods. They are placed inside Whare's which are a traditional place where Maoris sleep and do kapahaka performances.

The last picture is of a Boomerang  that are a wooden throwing tool. They are made flat and designed to spin. Once you throw it it circles back around to the thrower. The Australian Aborigines use them for hunting but most of us use it for entertainment. It is one of the icons of Australia.

What all of these have in common are that they are indigenous to all these tribes.
