Description

Preparation for Earth Day starts weeks in advance of the celebration itself through the creation of costumes, headdresses, banners and puppets large and small. Community members of all ages, children, teens and adults can participate in these Earth Day workshops. This is your opportunity to make your own animal creation to carry in the Earth Day Parade, allowing community members to show off the incredible banner designs and intricately decorated headdresses. 


At these workshops, participants build Earth Floats to release during the River Ceremony at the start of Earth Day. Build Earth Floats using natural materials, such as milk weed pods, birch bark, oak branches and cattails. The Earth Float engineers attach good wishes for the Earth and for the rivers and release their floats during the River Ceremony. Since the Floats are made from natural materials, the floats will return to nature where they came from. 


All Earth Day Workshop activities are lead by our Earth Day instructors, who have organized Earth Day for years. 


Instructor: Morningstar Medaye and others
