Using a plant found in marshes, we’ll create a duck decoy made from a bulrush called tule. You’ll learn the history of the cache of duck decoys that were discovered in 1924 by archaeologists at Lovelock Cave in Nevada. Duck decoys were also utilized by California Natives for hunting. We’ll construct a similar tule duck decoy that was made around 200 A.D.
