Summer Classes at Frisco Native American Museum equals Family Fun!
Every Friday through September 1st at 2pm come and share some fun learning Native American crafts, music and natural history.
Learn Finger Weaving, string a bead necklace, Sing and Drum, and learn about all sorts of critters! Every class will have something that the participants will go home with, but each class has limited space.
Classes cost $10/person and we recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time to reserve your space via our Events & Programs page. Though we’ve only had a few of our classes already, we’ve gotten close to our class limit!

September1
When we talk about how Natives respected animals in nature, the discussion is typically centered around well loved animals like bear, eagle, buffalo, and wolf. But what about our smaller animal neighbors?
Join us as Amber talks about the frequently misunderstood creatures of the often unseen aspects of our environment. From pollination to pest control and from forest clean up to disease control, learn how our tiniest neighbors can provide some of the biggest benefits. Circumstances permitting, there may also be a chance to meet some of the animal friends we discuss!
Participants will receive seeds to support important native pollinators and stickers designed by Amber herself!
