SUMMARY:Story Time with Uŋčí & LaláThe Great Race
DESCRIPTION:Today our story is The Great Race of the Birds and Animals written and illustrated by Paul Goble. \nAbout the story:  Long ago\, when the world was still quite new\, buffaloes used to eat people. It is true? The hair on their chins is hair of the people they use to eat…It is Terrible to think about those times. . . \nBut the Creator saw the people’s distress and decreed that a contest be held between all the two-legged and four-legged creatures. Who would win\, thundering Buffalo or fleet-footed Man? None of the other animals was fast enough\, and before the end\, Beaver and Muskrat slipped off into a cool stream\, Jack-rabbit hopped off across the plain\, and Mole and Gopher tunneled underground (and may still think the race is on). \nThe winner was decided long ago\, in Sioux and Cheyenne legend. Buffalo — who lost — agreed to give up eating men for dinner\, and thanks to the cunning of a single magpie\, Man became the guardian of the natural world. \nStory Time with Uŋči & Lalá is a free public program that brings American Indian history to life through books read by elders from the local community.  The program is free to the public and geared toward elementary-age children\, but children young and old are welcome.  Each week features a different story\, and children are invited to participate in a take-home art project or activity following the reading of the story. \nChildren must be accompanied by an adult.Registration is recommended for large groups.Service pets welcome.For more information call 800.798.3452 or email aktalakota@stjo.org

Montileaux. Join in on the fun! \nTHUMP! BOOM! BAM! \nAnimals stop and listen. A new sound is in the forest. The beat vibrates through the trees and across the meadows. What is it? Where is it coming from? \nMuskrat and Skunk thump on a hollow log—BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Birds begin to dance. Buffalo and Antelope join in. There is a rustle in the bushes; a large shape emerges. The animals scatter. Muskrat and Skunk drum on. \nThe story of the drum connects the instrument’s sound to the heartbeat of Mother Earth—a beat inside all of us.
