{Gentle Rain} Gentle Rain: My family learned how to adapt and survive at
Mesa Verde by using what nature provided. Because of this, my life at
Mesa Verde was very different from your everyday life. At a young age,
children helped with daily chores. We didn't go to school, but we
learned valuable life lessons everyday. We learned how to grow crops,
hunt, make pottery, and build houses with mud and stone. We gathered
materials from our surroundings to make what we needed. We also learned
about our history through stories told by our grandparents.
