Eye Spy
Reading edition
People have lived on Cumberland for centuries and were able to get what they needed to survive from the island’s resources. Let’s play Eye Spy and see if you can discover some things that were used in the past!
A. I spy a cistern that collected WATER for the Carnegies.
B. I spy wildlife that was hunted for FOOD.
C. I spy Spanish Moss that was used by the Timucuans to make CLOTHING.
D. I spy a wall with oyster shells. The shells were fired with sand and water to make tabby providing SHELTER.
These are just a few examples. Other resources provided medicine, building materials, and a way to make money. Keep your eyes open for things you could use if you had to live here!
