It is getting to be that time of year again when we all start thinking about summer! All the fun times you had last year and the even better ones that we are going to have this year.
The eewaansaapita summer educational experience is a week packed with fun activities. The theme for the 2008 year is ašiihkiwi neehi kiišikwi (earth and sky). We will be playing games such as lacrosse and Indian football. Harvesting, cooking, and eating traditional Miami foods. Speaking the Miami Language and just getting to spend time on our cultural grounds.
We are planning some exciting new activities and can't wait to see you on June 22nd!
P.S. There is a limited number of spaces. If you are interested please ask your parents now so that they can help you fill out the application forms by clicking on the link below!
