In this activity, learners create handmade animal track stamps. Learners research animal tracks, draw the shapes on moleskin, and then stick the shapes onto blocks of wood to make stamps. Learners use the stamp prints to tell a story of an animal adventure, just how the Native Americans interpreted animal tracks in nature to better understand nature and life. This activity guide includes resources for learning more about animal tracks. [Activity is publicly available through a web crawler capture on Archive.org.]
