Duck Decoys

Tule Duck-

This bird was made out of tule reeds. The Suisuni would make this out of tule reeds, it was a skeleton of sorts. They would then catch a real duck, skin it and place the skin over the tule shape. They would float the tule covered with skin in the water and make duck calls. When other ducks came to see it, they would kill the new ducks and do the same thing over and over.

Place your mouse over the image and HOLD down the LEFT hand mouse button. You can turn the shape around and see all sides of it!

This was made by students in Mrs. La Mar's 3rd grade class with the help of Mrs. Link's students from Fairfield High School!
