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.
Reminder, tomorrow is an early release day for students. Staff will use this time for professional learning focused on ensuring high levels of learning for ALL students!
