Middle School Native American Conference at UNL
On Friday December 11th several students from Mickle traveled to UNL for the 2015 Middle School Native American Conference. The students got to interact with the Bear Group, a music and theatrical production troupe from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. The Bear Group used skits, dancing, and personal stories to communicate with the students about the dangers of drug and alcohol use. They also discussed ways to help friends who are thinking about hurting themselves. The session ended with a Native American hoop dancer who talked to the students about being prideful of their Native heritage and expressing themselves each day. There were over 100 students from different LPS middle schools in attendance.
