For Kids Only

If you like playing games, doing art projects, working with your hands, or eating snacks, then the Heritage Museum has something for you!  “Kids Discover Local Native Culture.”

On Saturday Sept. 20th from 9AM to noon, all kids in grades 1 through 5 are invited to attend a morning of hands-on activities focused on our Island’s native people.

The day will begin with a story by special guest Lauretta Hyde, local story-teller and social studies teacher at Harbor School.  She will tell about a girl on her spirit quest, the challenges she faces and the lessons she learns.

Other experiences include making a cord using cattails, creating a native canoe with Coast Salish designs, inspect native artifacts, playing native games and sampling the foods.

The event is free.  To sign up, call the Museum at 463-7808,  by Friday September 19th.  The Heritage Museum is at 10105 Bank Road.

Under the auspices of the Museum’s special exhibit, “Vashon Island’s Native People: Navigating Seas of Change,” This Kids Discover Local Native Culture event is sponsored by Dig, Beth de Groen of Windemere, Rick’s Diagnostic, The Hardware Store Restaurant, John L. Scott Real Estate, Northwest School of Animal Massage, and 4Culture.
