    Learn about Native American music and dance from Cherokee myth-keeper and recording artist, Red Hawk. Can you tell the difference between a friendship beat and a war beat on the drum? Your students will be able to drum and dance both rhythms. Red Hawk will tell you the story of the first drum and why it only has skin on one side, how the animals helped create the first rattles and why the flute is such a powerful instrument. Children will gain a greater understanding of Native American culture and the values of oral traditions and songs. Dance and sing with Red Hawk in a performance designed for children of all ages. Wearing his traditional ribbon shirt instead of full regalia, Red Hawk's program will also help dispel cultural stereotypes. Event Location: Fun Forest mini stage, located behind the ranger station at Chesapeake City Park
