Prop

[Ameraucanas]

Hello! I am doing a performance, and for one of the parts, I am a Native American orphan at her parent's grave. I am in charge of the set, so I was wondering if they even had graves, and if they did not, what did they have, and if they did, how to make a cheap, realistic looking grave prop. Thanks!

How about the elevated platforms some tribes used.

Can you find a picture?

Thanks! Would the Tainos have used those?

Being in Puerto Rico, I doubt it. It is more a Plains Indian thing.

I'm curious. Do you not know how to use Google?

 

[Ameraucanas]

Um, of course I know how to use Google! How do you think I found this site? I was just wondering if their were any historians or anything on here that might know more than I could find on Google. And yes, I know that this is a site about chickens, but it never hurts to try.

It's fine to bring up other topics but perhaps the following forum would be better for this discussion than the 'Online Poultry Show' forum.

Agree with CanoeChicken! try the other section for more input.

Sounds like a pretty cool performance, why have they chosen the Tainos? out of curiosity

I have a hard time with this prop though, I am not sure they had "graves" but I am sure you can google their customs on the matter!

Thank you so much! I chose the Tainos because I am doing a project n the Columbian Exchange, and they are the ones that Columbus first met.
