We're back and there's no dilly dallying. We've been getting getting stuck into history and exploring Native American culture and the folktales of Cavan Town and its hinterland.
Here's some dreamcatchers that we did. The Ojibwa tribe believed they prevented nightmares, by catching them in the webbing, and guaranteed dreams by allowing them trickle down the feathers into the ears of sleeping children.
We also visited the library in an effort to find out more about the locality. Kathleen was very helpful and showed us the folklore collection on microfilm, gathered in the '30s, some of which was written by children from St.Clare's School!
