SUMMARY:STORY TIME WITH UŊČÍ & LALÁThe Cottonwood Sings
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Story Time every Tuesday at 10:30 AM CDT. While the program is designed for elementary-age children\, stories read by elders from the Lakota and Dakota communities will be captivating for children of all ages. \nToday our story is The Cottonwood Sings.  Written and illustrated by Alfreda Beartack-Algeo\, Lakota.\nPublished by 7th Generation. (May 2023) \nAbout the story:  The Cottonwood Sings is the delightful story of the lovely Hunku (First Woman)\, who was immortal and never aged. The animals and plants loved her\, but Hunku was lonely. Every day she would go to the riverbank and cry herself to sleep. Beaver\, who lived in the river\, fell in love with the beautiful Hunku and begged the Great Spirit to turn him into a man. The Great Spirit agreed\, and Beaver became Takahe (First Man)\, but the Great Spirit told him that one day he would have to go back to being Beaver. Hunku and Takahe enjoyed their life together\, and they had four beautiful daughters. The day finally came when Beaver had to return to the river. Hunku missed her companion and asked the Great Spirit to turn her into a tree so she could always be close to Beaver. The Great Spirit agreed to her request\, and to this day you will find cottonwood trees living near bodies of water and beavers living near cottonwood trees. \nA cultural activity will follow the reading. The event is free and open to everyone – join the fun! \n \n

SUMMARY:STORY TIME WITH Uŋčí & LALÁMuskrat and Skunk
DESCRIPTION:Story Time is offered every Tuesday at 10:30 AM CST. The program is geared toward elementary-age children but children young and old will enjoy stories read by elders of the Lakota and Dakota communities. \nToday our story is Muskrat and Skunk / Siŋkpé na Maká: A Lakota Drum Story.  Told and illustrated by Donald F. Montiieaux; Lakota Translation by Agnes Gay. \nAbout the story:  THUMP! BOOM! BAM!  Animals 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. For the Lakota people\, the drum is more than something to be played. Its rhythm is felt\, and it is central to many ceremonies. \nDonald F. Montileaux retells the origins of the drum\, using traditional stories that Lakota people still tell today. His colorful images breathe life into Muskrat and Skunk\, enhancing our understanding of the Lakota culture. \nA cultural activity will follow the reading. The event is free and open to everyone – come join the fun!

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

SUMMARY:STORY TIME WITH UŊČÍ & LALÁMuskrat and Skunk
DESCRIPTION:Story 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 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. \nStory Time is held in the Museum Bookstore every week on Tuesday from 10:30-11:30 a.m. during the months of June and July. \nToday our story is Muskrat and Skunk: A Lakota Drum Story by Donald F. 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. For the Lakota people\, the drum is more than something to be played. Its rhythm is felt\, and it is central to many ceremonies. \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
