This is a really great idea. Some area schools around here teach Native American traditions (including having days where students dress in traditional tribal clothing). I think it doesn't just teach kids something that could be useful to apply to daily life but also teaching them some understanding of groups that they might not understand. Lessens the distance, I think.
