* Why is there an Asmat canoe outside the Middle School Library? Why do we have a mini-museum of Asmat artifacts?
* Because in 1999 tribesmen from Papua New Guinea visited WCS - and the canoe was carved right outside on the Quad!
As part of their study of ancient history the Eighth Grade Scholars examined the culture of this group, and the changes their culture has made as they experience more and more contact with other people.
WSU Scholar Carrie Winder brought more Asmat artifacts from a teaching collection - which means we could pick up and touch these amazing items. She explained many things about this culture, which will help us understand the Anthropology Museum at WSU when we visit.
