Suggested Questions about the Plaza at Santa Fe:

  1. Identify the animals carrying the bundles of wood. Why do you think the man is using these animals to carry the wood?
  2. There are some people who are using other methods to carry bundles. One person dressed in Native American clothing has a striped cloth that wraps around his head and holds a big bundle on his back. What do you think the person with the striped bundle might be carrying?
  3. Another person, who looks like a mountain man, is carrying a leather bundle over his shoulder. What could be in his package?
  4. There are many styles of clothing shown in the illustration on this page. Compare them, and discuss the reasons for the various styles of dress.
