Children will be able to try their hands at games like Atlatl and Chungke and activities featuring Native American temporary tattoos, a scavenger hunt for native medicinal herbs and the Three Sisters Garden. Enjoy the sounds of drums and flutes and the highlight of the day dancing by the Sylestine Legacy. Admission is free with a nominal charge for a couple of activities.
