The Many Moccasins Dance Troupe will be back this year to perform traditional dances as a group. Matthew “Sitting Bear” Jones of the Kiowa/Otoe-Missouria Indian tribe will tell Kiowa Tales, which are stories, tales and legends of his people, Set-Angia. Phyllis R. Stone, elder of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, explains the uses and traditions of items, both past and present, from American Indian cultures.
Students will learn the meaning behind different totem poles and make one to take home, discover the importance of Navajo Code Talkers during World War II, take part in a Native American search activity, and much more!
We are featuring Earth, Moon & Sun in the Planetarium and Lewis and Clark: The Great Journey West in the Theatre.
