Celebrate Ojibwe culture while decorating your own bandolier shoulder bag. This kid-approved kit is the perfect entertainment on a rainy day and allows creative thinking. Historically used to carry tobacco and personal items, the bandolier bag can now be seen on display at dances and powwows. The kit comes with 2 preprinted bags, crayons, glitter glue, a 4-video DVD and guidebook with instructions and Ojibwe history. Try adding more embellishments such as beads or feathers to add to the fun. The kit is produced by the Minnesota Historical Society in collaboration with the Mille Lacs Indian Museum and can be ordered online at www.mhspress.org for $18.95. — Breana Roy
