FLORENCE-The Florence Indian Mound Museum is hosting a series of children’s programs where students can explore the early history of the Shoals through short lessons and hands-on learning exercises. Each month will feature a practice that relates to Native American culture! Participants will explore the history and cultural meaning behind each practice while engaging in an activity related to that topic.
Join us on Saturday, September 28th, at 10 a.m. for a program and activity about Native American Music of the Southwest.
Music is an artistic expression that has been shared by the tribes of the Southwest for centuries, specifically, the Pueblo Nations, the Navajo (Dine), and the Apache Nations. Music is used for self-expression, as the carrier of language, and as a catalyst for bringing people together and keeping culture alive. Today the music of the Native American people of the Southwest continues to be celebrated and shared in many different ways. Join us for this special class on Native American Music where we will make instruments and learn a dance. We hope to see you there!
This program is free and is sponsored by the City of Florence Department of Arts and Museums and the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area. The Florence Indian Mound Museum is located at 1028 S. Court St. Florence, AL, and is open Tuesday – Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sundays from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Call 256-760-6427 for more information.
