Friday, June 4, 2010

Native people have long celebrated the strawberry, the first fruit of spring, with festivals, songs, dances and stories. The wild strawberry became the symbol of the Creator's gift of renewal and food each spring, and these festivals of thanksgiving are a way of showing appreciation to Mother Earth and the Creator for the bounty of nature.
Join us as we celebrate this first fruit of spring, through the creation of a strawberry pin cushion, sharing a strawberry snack, hearing Native American strawberry tales, and a spring activity in the galleries.
