How The Birds Got Their Songs

📖 STORY TIME WITH UŊČÍ & LALÁ
🗓️ June 10, 2025 |10:30 AM
📍 Museum Bookstore
🎟️ Free Admission

Perfect for all ages—especially elementary kids! No registration needed, just come ready for a fun and educational experience.

Join us as we share How The Birds Got Their Songs, a beautiful traditional story by Travis Zimmerman, adapted by Marcus Ammesmaki and published by the Minnesota Historical Society. Illustrated by Sam Zimmerman, this tale tells how the Great Spirit challenged all the birds to a contest, giving birth to the gift of birdsong!

Told in both English and Ojibwe, discover how each bird earns its unique song—and how a tiny hermit thrush surprises everyone by hitching a ride on Eagle’s feathers.

Passed down through the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, this story celebrates nature, language, and the magic of birdsong.

Don’t miss it—see you there!
