November is Native American Heritage Month and the Brooklyn Children’s Museum is celebrating with fun activities in its “Totem Poles” event throughout the month.
Totem poles can be used to tell stories, celebrate nature, or remember important people. They can be big or small, with the largest totem pole in the world standing at 173 feet and residing in British Columbia, that’s taller than the Children’s Museum.
Children are invited to join in and make a group totem pole and view the totem poles in the museum’s exhibit.
Classes are for children 5 years and older and are at 11:30 am to noon on Nov. 2, 3, 9, 10, 23, and 24. It’s free with museum admission.
Brooklyn Children’s Museum [145 Brooklyn Ave. at St. mark’s Avenue in Crown Heights, (718) 735–4400].
