SAVE THE DATE to join us at the Indian Center, Inc. in Lincoln for this cross-cultural community event celebrating the return of rain, thunder, spring, and bird migration on Saturday, April 5, 10:00 am-3:00 pm.
This family-fun "something for everyone" event celebrates the time of year many Native peoples give thanks to the Thunder beings for providing rebirth with rain & thunder. It is also a time we celebrate the return of many migratory birds to Nebraska. So Audubon and the Indian Center are celebrating together with music, dance, food, arts, kids games and activities, and much much more.
