Often the children clap with the drums, providing a strong rhythm for Herman's feet. Children are also brought onto the stage to learn dance steps while their classmates keep time. Autumn also shares stories relating to children speaking to the environment, and knowing that they must care for all that is around them. The entire performance not only demonstrates Native culture in a traditional and contemporary sense, it also presents the importance of diversity and the dangers of stereotyping and racism. Flute, Dance, and Storytelling workshops are also available in the children's school series.
Flutes are available at a very low cost to students.
