Make your own Rain Stick!The rain stick was created by native peoples from various cultures. Some cultures used rain sticks during droughts as a gift to the skies. In return, the skies would bring rain to help grow food.
Some native people in the rainforests, made rain sticks to carry seeds and precious items from one
place to another as they traveled.
