elementary classrooms and received awards for a complimentary exhibit, Seasons
of the Nuche. Hear how Skyler Lomahaftewa (Ute/Hopi), who moved to the
mountains to snowboard, tells kids not to always talk about Indians in the
past tense. He'll perform native song and dance. He will also talk about
visiting classrooms to share his tribe's customs and traditions.

for practicing oral storytelling. Staff will demonstrate how they do this
and will teach you to incorporate their model into your educational
