Tule House Project

"Outside Educators coordinated with the Math/Science Nucleus to build an Ohlone-style tule house at the Tule Ponds, Tyson Lagoon Wetland Center in Fremont. High school students, who needed community service hours, and volunteers helped with the gathering of the materials and the construction of the tule house."

On June 11 - 12, 2005, we cut the willow trees and stripped off the bark. The bark strips were used for binding the frame and cross pieces. The holes for the main willow poles were dug. The construction of the willow frame began.
