Plains Indian Games

For ages 9 – 11
Kids enjoy games and toys that young Native Americans have enjoyed for centuries. Games of skill were used to prepare children for adulthood, and other activities were merely for fun! Participants learn from Nakoda (Assiniboine) educator and craftsman Ernest Gendron, and can play these games all summer long.
Advanced registration is required. Cost is $10 per Buffalo Bill Center of the West members; and $12 for non-members.
