For young families, The Native Circle Touch the Earth Festival provides activities and entertainment for children at its popular Children’s Activity Area, which features making bracelets and painting “spirit rocks”. The activities are carefully chosen to inform, entertain and educate youngsters, but visitors of all ages loved these presentations and demonstrations. Young and old alike gained knowledge and understanding of Indigenous culture and wisdom through these educational programs. Founded in 2006 by Laura K. Vannah, visitors to this festival will receive a very ‘real’ experience of Indigenous ways of life through song, storytelling, dance, and interactive educational programs. By sharing in and exploring those differences we are able to experience the common threads that unite us.
