This Website
On this Studio Lied website, we will learn about the Native Voices - Secret History performance: how it was made, its creator, and its cast members. We will explore the idea of "unheard voices" in our community, and look at efforts to listen to these voices. We will hear the voices of Native American youths within our community, and have the opportunity to share our own personal oral history.Navigate
