Many people love owls with their flat faces and forward-looking eyes, that look more like us than any other bird. If your children love this magnificent bird, sign them up for the craft workshop on how to make an owl out of birch bark at the Institute for American Indian Studies on Sunday, January 23. Participants can sign up for one of three timeslots @ 1 p.m., 2 p.m., or 3 p.m. This workshop is perfect for kids five years and older.
Kids will be hooting with enthusiasm about this engaging educational workshop to all their friends and family. They will learn about the cultural importance of owls to Native American communities while crafting their very own birch bark owl. In this way, children will connect and learn from a culture that has thousands of years of history in the area where they live.
There are diverse beliefs about owls in different Native cultures. While specific beliefs differed from tribe to tribe, owls were often both feared and revered. Many of these beliefs come from the very adaptations of owls that make them such great hunters. A special highlight of this workshop will be the lessons that can be learned from these stories and adaptations of owls.
