Native American stories serve as springboards for activities that introduce children to the natural world. This workshop provides tools and techniques for helping children to study science, nature, Native American cultures and environmental stewardship. Caduto will share music, dance and traditional storytelling techniques, showing how to bring the magic of his bestselling books to life for children ages 5 to 12 (K-6), including Keepers of the Earth, Keepers of the Animals, Keepers of Life and Keepers of the Night. Michael’s books have proven exceptional for tying together many aspects of the curriculum through stories, information and activities. Books are based on complete, experiential curricula (K-6) for the study of every aspect of the environment, including wildlife ecology, botany, habitat and environmental ethics.

Includes an in-depth section and resources on how to share Native American stories and information with cultural sensitivity. For educators of children in grades K-6.
