  • Arapaho Truths

    The Northern Arapaho of the Wind River Indian Reservation are storytellers. In an effort to pass their culture to the next generation, the Elders tell the children four traditional stories. Using clay animation, shadow puppets, paintings, drawings, and performance, the children make the stories come to life.”
