Arapaho Truths | Wyoming’s Native Americans

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, painting, drawing, and performance, the children make the stories come to life.

NOTE: Spanish closed captions are available for this resource.
