The Thunder’s Hair activity plan uses a simple braiding activity to teach youth about:

  • The beauty and importance of braided hair for Native Americans
  • The essence of mind, body, and spirit in each braided strand of hair
  • How to help stop bullying

The activity is based on the book, Thunder’s Hair, by Jessie Taken Alive-Rencountre.

Recommended for youth in grades K-3
