Third graders enjoyed their field trip to Isle a la Cache last week! They learned about the American Indians's relationship with the land and learned about the barter system used by the French and American Indians to exchange goods. They explored a walking trail, life in a longhouse, and went to the trader's cabin to learn about the Fur Trade between the French and Potawatomi.
