Bluestem Environmental Education brings you authentic handmade replica games bringing living history to life in hand crafted games. No two games are alike and are hand crafted based on historical research teaching about Native Indigenous First Nation lifeways and early games of settlement. These games are suitable for use in living history events, as a compliment to an Indigenous or First Nation unit of study. Because of their historic nature and simple utilitarian beauty, these games could be used as decoration for your home office or school. All games are to be used with direct adult supervision and due caution. Featured games are lacrosse, double ball, spear hunting game and feather darts. One set of four games can engage 10 children at a time. Many schools purchase two sets to engage 20 children at a time. These materials may qualify for purchase with Alaska Title V funds.

Remember if shipping to anywhere but the lower 48 US states, please contact us first for a shipping quote. Also due to the large popularity of these games and that they are hand crafted, shipping could be 4-8 weeks particularly if it is a large order. All of our materials are hand crafted, hand made. Good things take time! Please be mindful of that when ordering.
