The Great Persons Series fosters transformation, inspiration, and self-awareness through interactive exhibits and programs that bring history and social justice to life. Led by DC-based educator and dance artist, Chitra Subramanian, this series is designed for children ages 3-12 years old. In this workshop, children and families will learn about Zitkala-Sa, a Dakota Yankton writer and musician, cultural preserver, and political activist for her Native American people.
There will be an enrichment activity at 1:00pm with special guest, Angela Gladue, a First Nations Powwow Dancer and bgirl from amiskwaciwaskahikan (Edmonton, Alberta). She will be sharing an introduction to First Nations dance and showcasing a special performance of the Traditional Hoop Dance.
