Big Foot and Friends Night in Seiling 👣
The Prevention team provided bone and bead necklaces, a Big Foot paint and palette class instructed by Mona, and a Big Foot call contest.
Big Foot had a great time in Seiling. We had over 50 people in attendance tonight.

Thank you to Karen LittleCoyote for speaking tonight, she talked about the importance of learning traditions and culture because it helped her live a better life for herself and for her family. Culture is prevention. ❤️
Thank you Seiling!
