Young Learners Series: Music

The Florence Indian Mound Museum hosts a series of children’s programs that explores Shoals early history through short lessons & hands-on learning. Each month features a practice relating to Native American culture. Participants explore the history & cultural meaning behind each practice and engage in an activity related to that topic.
March’s program is on Southeastern Native American music.
Music is an artistic expression that has been shared by Southeastern Native American people for centuries. Music was & is still used for self-expression, as the carrier of language and as a catalyst for bringing people together & keeping culture alive.
Today the music of the Native American people of the Southeast continues to be celebrated and shared in many different ways. Participants will make instruments & learn a dance.
