Exploring Artifacts
Watch the clip from Moana when Moana’s grandmother shows her the cave where her people’s long lost ships are stored. Through the magic of Disney, she studies these artifacts and is transported back in time and glimpses what it was like back when her people sailed the seas. After she learns this history she exclaims, “We were voyagers!” and her life changes forever. This scene is a powerful example of how studying artifacts, and learning about people’s history changes our whole outlook.
We will complete the "What is an Artifact?" slide together in the Moana: Exploring Artifacts activity.
