National Museum of the American Indian: Annual Children’s Festival

Shawn Termin, the museum’s cultural arts manager, used the animal imagery found in many of the more than 160 objects in the museum’s new exhibition, “Cerámica de los Ancestros: Central America’s Past Revealed,” to build the festival’s activities. Here, children can design jaguar masks, weave bracelets and buttons, and decorate animal pendants. Traditional songs and dances will be performed by indigenous groups from the Colotenango community in Guatemala.
