WHAT WE'LL EXPLORE: A storytelling event for youth that features heartwarming tales starring animals such as coyote, raven, wolf, and more. Weaving art, philosophy, and science together, our storytellers -- Shane Doyle and Louise Fischer -- will invite youth to imagine, wonder, question, and play, and learn more about indigenous perspectives on the enlightening & enchanting role of animals in our lives and collective history.
