Here’s a video clip from the show Molly of Denali called “Grandpa’s Drum.”
Molly’s grandfather stopped singing his songs when the teachers at his boarding school demanded only English. Molly helps find her Grandfather’s drum and bring back his songs.
It’s a good reminder how history needs to include the truthful stories of what happened to Native Peoples. By knowing the true story, all peoples can start to heal. Let’s watch the show together!”
