of your tribe and the mask.
The Museum Piece is comprised of 2 main parts:
| 1. | Location- Write 1 paragraph that describes the country where your ethnic group is located. Include the geographical information and interesting facts. |
| 2. | Ceremonial Use- Write 1 paragraph that describes your ethnic group and the use of the mask. |
Optional:
In your write-up, include a map and flag from which your ethnic group
is from and a picture of the original mask.
