The Florence Indian Mound Museum is hosting a series of children’s programs where students can explore the early history of the Shoals through short lessons and hands-on learning exercises. The programs will explore 12 Native American figures through their biographies, contributions, hopes, and accomplishments. Students will be given a passport with the 12 figures; they will receive a stamp for each program attended. Students who collect 6, 9, or 12 stamps will receive an award. 

Join us on Saturday, March 18th at 10 for a program and activity about Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland. Deb Haaland made history when she became the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary. She is a member of the Pueblo of Laguna and a 35th generation New Mexican.  She is one of the first Native American women to serve in Congress, where she focused on environmental policies, missing indigenous women, and family-friendly policies.
