Come and learn from a former colonial Williamsburg living history interpreter, John Holt, about Native American Indian folklore and medicine bags. Traditionally, medicine bags held special protection medicines or healing herbs. Students will enjoy learning folklore as they handcraft their own medicine bag from leather, decorated with glass and metal beads and fill with herbs. All supplies are provided. This class is fun for all ages.
