The Lewiston School District Indian Education Program & The Nez Perce Tribe would like to invite the community to the Spokane Ensemble Theatre production of "According to Coyote" by John Kauffman, in partnership with Red Eagle Soaring. This production, featuring Coyote, the legendary hero of American Indian mythology, is an encounter with the richness and vitality of Native American culture using age-old traditions of music, dance, and theatre. Directed by the playwright’s niece, Josephine Keefe, and performed by Nez Perce actor, Kellen Trenal, this one-man show is a testament to storytelling and family history.

Introducing a new recurring series—by students, for students, with students! Each week, we’ll feature students and staff in posts called “Students Behind the Lens, Students in Focus” and “Students Behind the Lens, Staff in Focus.” Principals from across the district will select someone to spotlight, and our digital media students will handle the photography, interviews, and graphic design to celebrate them.

First up: McGhee Elementary’s Hayden Whitlock! When asked about his favorite part of school, Hayden said, “I am excited for PE, and I really want to learn math. Plus, I’ll probably get to do some hard stuff this year.”
