Popular author and master storyteller Michael Caduto performs Native American myths and legends at Coolidge State Park on Thursday June 27 at 4:00pm. This performance uses song, chants, native instruments, dance and stories that are carefully chosen from among the indigenous cultures found throughout North America. Caduto’s lively performance engages the audience with a cast of humorous and dramatic characters and voices that share the theme of wise environmental stewardship. During this presentation participants are introduced to, and actively involved in, the great circles of life — the traditional Native American basis for a balanced, sustainable existence with Earth.
