= = ghjg


 * Alysha- The Richard presention was really neat.It was so nice that i felt everything was done in 15min like it was beyawnd awsome. The cool part was when he told showed our class the artifacts, it was so cool because not only did we see them we touched them and felt them and some snifed them to.He didnt just tell us what it was used for he made us guess,then he told us i got 4 1/2 out of 10,pretty nice score.The best part was when he told us about when he found a really rare aboringinal artifact.I forgot what it was called sorry :'(. Well any way this man something francisco had some land and stared to dig in it.And he found some aboringinal artifacts,so he told his crew not to tell anyone about it.A while later a guy got fired to told the police, you guess it francisco had to pay a really really really big fine.So when the police heard they went to the archaeologists and the stared a big site.So the cool thing was that Richard went and found this cool thing.All of a sudden he starts screaming so this guy thought he got hurt and starts running over,to help Richard.Richard's son came to his son thought he saw two people behind his father,but there was no one there.Richard belives it was his great great great grand father.**

 * Emily- I think Richards presentation was very interesting. We got to feel the replicas of the artifacts which was interesting. I learned that if you dig something up in your yard and if was deeper than 18 inches it belongs to the government of Canada. Personally I think that if it was dug up on a persons yard it belongs to them. I liked the stories he told, and the fact that some archeologists make $600 a day was pretty amazing. Not that I want to be an archeologist. Digging up junk all day doesn't sound appealing. It was a very interesting presentation ​Richard Presentation jessie **======

Richard showed us fake materials of tools he give us a paper we took a guess about the materials is used to for, the material were cool & awsome. Richard showed recap of his 2008 summer when he found a tool it was very funny because when he found it he started to scream & yell so his boss thought he fell in the hole & broke a bone.I wish Richard cancome again tell us more stories.======

Chris-I just learned that if you dig 18" or more below the ground and find something it belongs to Canada. Richard also found these cool stones when he was with his friends. One of the stones was like a crystal you can see through it if you face it at the sunlight and the crystal like rock can cut your hand easily if you press on the points. He also told us that when he work at a field digging holes, he found something and he called out to his friend Dave, then Dave thought he was hurt because he was jumping up and down and screaming. His son also thought he was hurt to because the holes that he dug were really deep and you can seriously hurt your leg if you fall in one of the holes. Richard gave us a work sheet about rock tools. He handed out fake copies of the tools and we had to guess what they were used for. A hand maul is used a a hammer the bottom part of the hand maul is used to hammer big things and the top part which is the pointy part is used to hammer small things. I hope he can come and visit us again :)======

Clio-Richard’s presentation was fantastic because I got to feel and see the old materials that Richard’s ancestors owned. He also told us a story. The story was about him working in a field. When Richard was digging in the field he saw a little piece of yellow crystal dug out from the ground. Right away Richard knew what it was. He called his boss and his son to come over and take a look. When his son came over he said who was with you? Richard said "no one I was here alone” but his son said "no? I saw two hands waving at me". Richard said "maybe it was my great great grandfather waving too. The crystal might be his from last time". Richard was so happy that he discovered the artifact.======

JOSH: Today I learned different equipment that belonged to Richard's ancestors. We also got observe different material then after we had to guess what they were used for. After we all guessed what the equipment might be for, Richard told us what the were used for. Then he talked about the highlight of his 2008 summer, which was about where and how he discovered a tool that has been lying in the earth for so long it started to turn to the color of the sand around it. When Richard discovered the tool he was screaming and yelling, its was very funny because his boss thought he was hurt so he ran to him. Meanwhile he was waving to his son, so his son ran their before Richard's boss, when he got there he said "Was anyone else here with you?". Richard said "No, if someone was here you would know!". All of a sudden Richard's boss came and said it was break time. During break Richard showed the tool he discovered to his fellow workers. His son was sitting quietly, thinking. Richard asked what was wrong, his son said when you were waving at me i saw two hands waving. Richards said that maybe our ancestors which was very cool. This is all I have to say about Richards presentation..... It was very good and I hope he comes back again!!!!

Vaneet-I found Richard’s Presentation really interesting. The tools and rocks that Richard brought in with him. Richard told us that the artifacts that he brought with him were a replica of the actual thing. I couldn’t really believe that because it looked so real! They were the actual size and shape of the actual thing! It was sooooooooooooo cool! Some of the artifacts looked just like a flat piece of rock from far away but when I got the chance to actually hold it in my hands, it looked so different from what it looked like from far away. They were so cool. I only stayed in the class for about a half hour or so because I had band and I really wished I could stay longer to hear what Richard had to say because he somehow makes learning really, really, really fun. I hope Richard comes back but, next time he should say for the whole day!======

Jasmin-When Richard came I was so happy because he did say he was coming back also that he tells amazing stories that I can listen forever. Last time Richard talked about the small poxes but this time he brought stuff from the olden days but they were made out of plastic. He bought stuff for example a stone bowl, hand maiil, pebble tool, drill and lots more. He gave us a sheet with some stuff on it. When he passed around the stuff, we had to feel it and write down what we think it was used for, the after he told us the answers. Stone bowl- I think it was used for stuff to eat in. It was used for to prepare plant food. Hand maiil- I think it was used to smash things. It was used as a hammer with a adze blade Pebble tool- I think it was used as a hammer It was used for cracking, splitting, crushing, hammering and scraping wood.Drill- I think it was used to make holes for gardening It was used for making needless, beads and artistic items. It was also used for drilling into stone bones and wood.My ideas didn’t really match any of that. Richard also told us about his summer vacation, when he found a crystal biface( spear head, harpoon head and all purpose knife). He said that when he was waving at his son to come see the crystal biface his son saw something behind Richard waving at him too. Richard said that it could have been there great great great grandfather waving at him because the crystal biface might have belonged to him. It was really nice to see Richard again and I hope we will get to see him again. I HOPE WE HET TO SEE HIM AGAIN .======

katie WOW! I never knew how interesting this could have been, I really enjoyed the part when we got to pass around the tools and guess what we thought they were used for. It was also really interesting when Richard was telling us about his high light of summer, when hi found that tool and was waving at his son to come there and his son saw a spirit thing of their great great great great grandfather. At first I was kind of confused when he was talking about that but then it made lots more sense when he got closer to the end. I really enjoyed his presentation and learned a lot.======

Harsh-Richards presentation was very interesting.The most important thing i learned is that if you find anything in your backyard 18" and below, you don't get to keep it and that it belongs to the government of Canada.The second most interesting thing i learned is that the first nations people is that they broke anything that another person made when they die. Other than that he told us about materials that the first nations people used 10,000 years ago and he brought replicas of those thing and then we had to guess what they were used for. At the very end he told us about his summer 2008. He told us that he went on a archeologist trip do dig up some artifacts and he actually found something. He also told us that the boss archeologist earn $600 a day and the junior archeologist earn $250 a day, that's a lot of money.======

Saffy - i thought all the tools he showed us we really cool, its really clever how the aboriginal people made them. I never knew that they didn't have to plant stuff, all the plants came naturally, and if they wanted to get stronger crops for the next year they had top burn down the current plants and the other crops would come back, 10x stronger. I never knew that old food could still be found from long, long ago i thought that it would just turn into soil or something, its cool that you could still study them and see what type of food they ate back then. All the tools they used back then were kind of weird too, one tool (which looked like a tile of a roof) was used for many things, one of the things were scalping animals, but when you actually think about what its used for, it makes more sense. I learned a lot today, and even though he was here for an hour, i wished he could of stayed for longer.======

Sonam-The objects Robbie showed us were so cool. They were interesting and mysterious. The object I liked best was the BOWL because it was so mysterious. It was mysterious because it could've been used for a lot of things, I wish I found out what it was used for because I was so mysterious. The objects he showed us all felt smooth. They were so awesome. I'm so frusturated because we missed his presentation because his presentaions are so interesting! My questions are: Where did they find all the objects? Did they all have a special mystery behind them? Overall I loved the presentation even though I only watched 35 minutes of it!======

Austin-richards artafacts were cool beacuse its all diffrent from now beacuse today we have hammers and nifes but back then they used rocks and stones. It was also neet of how we got to hold them my faivorite one was the win mail it was sorta heavy and it looked like a pice of the game chest. And it was also great beacuse of the story he told us of how he was digging and he found a nice artifact. It sucks that the guy who was paying richard and his son and all them got sued beacuse of one mean guy who told on him beacuse he got fired i hope ricard can come back again it was weiard he just waled in and i was like whooooooooooo its richard.======

I loved it those were the cooolest things I have ever seen my favirot tool was the bowl thing I wonder how they carved all of that rock to look like that shape. I also liked the Drill that was pretty cool too! I never kne3 that law if you find someting underground 18 inches or deeper it is the goverments property. That was the coolest ithing that Richard found but he had to give it away now that just stinks. When you are digging to make pool someoneand watching you if you find anything and if you did people would come into your backyard to find other things your playing soocer and random people come into your backyard.​ That was a cool presentation====== Joseph:When Richard came back in I was like YAY(in my mind though) because the last time he came he talked alot and it was very intresting. This time he brought in these replica of artifacts and they looked really cool. The werid thing was that the replicas were made of plastic but they looked like sone and rock. Then he told us about how he was a person to dig up artifacts. Then he brought in pictures abought him and his dig. He said there was a group of 20 people that were looking for the artifacts. He was a digger and his son was a person who collected the dirt to show the people who scanned for artifacts. Richard told us that if you dig something that is 18 inches or deeper in Canda, it belong to the government. So if someone were to build a pool that was 8 feet deep, you would have to ask them. But if I were to build it only 17 inches, it would be fine....right? Some of the artifacts were called a stone bowl, a drill, a adze blade and I forgot the rest. Overall his presentation was awesome and I hope he can come in again to tell us more really intresting stories...and waste work time:D
