This autumnal program for families will explore Native peoples’ traditions of living in balance with Earth and each other. This hands-on harvest time adventure will highlight the interdependence of all living things in nature and explore gratitude as taught by Native cultures found throughout North America.

Developed from discussions with Native American elders and research of the historical record, Native traditions, stories and games will be discovered. Activities will convey the philosophy of kinship with nature, showing respect for all living creatures and how giving is the way to earn respect.
