Event Details
How did early American Indians encounter their environment, other tribes, and the Spanish explorers in the vast landscape that would become Texas? In this live-streamed class led by a Museum Educator, students search for evidence of these first encounters using artifacts and paintings.
This class is designed for homeschool participants. Questions? Please email us at Distance.Learning@TheStoryofTexas.com.
