Maestros, esta actividad para crear un collar en forma de mazorca de maíz es rápida y sencilla. La actividad utiliza materiales ampliamente accesibles y económicos y está diseñada para para niños de preescolar a 5º grado, ofrece una alternativa al tocado deplumas de papel, culturalmente inapropiado, que a veces se hace durante el mes de la Herencia del Indígena Americano. El video ofrece instrucciones paso a paso sobre cómo hacer el collar. Al resaltar el cultivo del maíz y otras contribuciones agrícolas que hacen los pueblos indígenas, la actividad puede ampliar o culminar una lección en el aula y conectarse con los estudios sociales, las ciencias, las matemáticas o el arte.
