Great Salt Water Educational Outreach
Dear Educator,
My name is Teresa Morris. I am a teacher and Founding Director of Coastal
Carolina Indian Center & Association.
Through the years we may have worked together within your respective classroom
and/or your involvement with American Indian courses I’ve taught at Coastal
Carolina and Carteret Community Colleges.
Some of you have shared excerpts in your class from my children’s book, Families
of the Neuse: A Story of Two Friends, which was endorsed by retired senior
writer of National Geographic, Harvey Arden, and North Carolina Education
Chairman, Phil Kirk. Families of the Neuse celebrates life growing up in eastern
North Carolina through the story of two friends, one with Native roots, the
other, European. The two friends learn about living within our natural world and
the importance of ongoing stewardship in preserving our state’s natural
resources…today.
You may have also seen the documentary I participated in along with ECU retired
professor Dr. David Phelps titled THE LOST COLONY: In Search Of Roanoke.
Documentary was shown on the History Channel.
You are in receipt of this letter because of expressed interest in your students
participating in the upcoming 2008-09 CCIC’s Great Salt Water Educational
Outreach.
Approximately 2000+ students from surrounding counties attended the first ever
Great Salt Water Educational Outreach at the Onslow County Fairgrounds in
November 2004. Your class and/or students may have attended and received
individual art and essay merit ribbons relative to areas of class study and
native interest. Interest may have included various arts (primitive and
contemporary) , architectural influences relative to natural setting, distinct
clothing designs, powwow regalia for various dancers, linguistic groups of
O-neh-weh-yuh-ka’s (North Carolina’s) first Tuscarora and Algonquian peoples.
With rising fuel costs etc. being a possible deterrent for schools facing budget
crunches your students can still experience this unique Great Salt Water
Educational Outreach. It will be our honor to go the distance in visiting your
school and individual class. We believe this will provide a more intimate
educational setting for your students that wish to examine a variety of
artifacts, ask questions and learn about some of the fun and thrilling facts of
North Carolina Indian history.
All students attending this very meaningful
educational experience will be awarded the 2008-09 CCIC GREAT SALT WATER
Educational Outreach Certificate and teachers will be given follow-up student
quiz assessment.
Please indicate below your preference of month,
week, date, time(s) you’d like a scheduled visit to your school-individual
classroom as reservations are taking place now. (Allow approximately 45-90 minutes
per classroom.)
Please have application request returned to us
as soon as possible to insure visit upon your request.
Nya:weh, (Thank you)
Teresa Morris
CCIC Great Salt Water Educational Outreach
Mission:
Students participating in CCIC’s Great Salt Water educational experience will
have greater working knowledge and appreciation for 500+ American Indian Nations
and North Carolina’s living Indian history, ongoing contributions to our country
and why each one of us should carry forward a great love and devotion to the
land and living waters gifted to us as a sacred trust by our Creator.
Students also will have a greater working knowledge and appreciation for the
ongoing
contributions from native people and families living and working in coastal and
eastern North Carolina.
