Annually Indigenous: Parent Workshop by the Tomaquag Museum
Thursday, January 20, 7pm
Virtual workshop

The traditions surrounding Thanksgiving has relegated Native American appreciation to just one month of the year, November. As a result, Indigenous education has largely been limited to pilgrims and Indians, the mayflower, and the enduring Thanksgiving myth. It’s time for Indigenous education to be appreciated all year round. In this session, we will discuss strategies for incorporating and expanding Indigenous education in your learning all year round. Presented by an educator from the Tomaquag Museum.

Free.

Available until January 24 - FREE

Set in New York City at the turn of the century, NEWSIES is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band of teenaged ‘newsies,’ who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets. But when publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies newsies from across the city to strike for what’s right.

Runtime approximately 2 hours, 30 minutes
