Spirit Chief Names the Animal People (We Are One: Water)
Water is Life! This exploratory program designed for children ages 8-13 and their families teaches participants about the importance of water in Native American culture and encourages audience members to take small steps to protect our environment.
Special learning opportunity for families in advance of the concert:
In partnership with Learning Through Art, Inc, families will read We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom and utilize the content built for LTA’s performing arts literacy program called, Books Alive! For Kids® in order to creatively immerse students in the weeks leading up to the concert. Children will explore our connections to nature through both the visual and the performing arts as the book seeks to “help educate young people about the importance of water and how we must protect it and care for it.” The accompanying activity guide will be one of many resources featured within the Books Alive! For Kids® online library which is accessible at no cost.
