Kids Celebrate Indigenous People’s Day – Grades K-5 – FREE

Kids will listen to a story written by an Indigenous author, Mandy Miller Jackson, Montaukett Indian Nation and complete a Dreamcatcher craft project in celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. 

Children in grades K–5 will listen to a story by an Indigenous author and then create a Dreamcatcher craft.

Dreamcatchers originated with the Ojibwe (Chippewa) people, who live in the American Great Lakes region and parts of Canada. The tradition was later adopted by other Indigenous cultures and is now widely practiced throughout North America. Dreamcatchers can be made from many materials, including wood, yarn, feathers, beads, ribbons, gemstones and seashells.

The program aims to practice cultural appreciation, not appropriation, while helping children develop respect for the beauty and ingenuity of Indigenous cultures.
