- **Event Name**: All My Relatives | Mini Workshop Series
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for 14 weeks of hands-on Indigenous learning at the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota!

Each Thursday from 4:00–6:00 pm, children ages 7–12 explore a new cultural theme through artmaking, storytelling, games, traditional knowledge, and guided activities. Sponsored by MSU's Elementary Education program, these mini-workshops celebrate Dakota traditions while encouraging creativity, curiosity and respect.

Weekly topics include forest animals, dance regalia, beading, traditional tools, Indigenous games, star quilts, dreamcatchers, lodges, sacred foods, buffalo lifeways, drums, seasonal calendars, gardens, and ledger art. Children will handle replica tools, design patterns, build mini models, plant seeds, create artwork, and learn about the land and its first peoples.

Families may attend any or all weeks. Activities are designed to be inclusive, educational, and joyful—perfect for young learners who love culture, nature, and hands-on exploration.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.  And others:
