Entertaining 5th graders about the Native American Culture
Thank you so much for visiting Mountain Island Charter School and entertaining our 5th graders with information about the Native American culture. The students were able to get a detailed glimpse into the lives and styles of Native Americans by observing your outfit and numerous displayed artifacts. I particularly enjoyed the stories that you told and how you related those stories to the lives of avergage 5th graders. The story about thte poisonous snake that tempted the Native American child was particularly memorable, as the moral of the lesson was to not be tempted by outside forces that you KNOW are not positive forces. The students also enjoyed this story and I plan to refere back to it with those students if they should be tempted by peer pressure or other negative forces that surround them.
Thank you again for your time and interesting information. We will keep your contact information and think of you in the future as we educate our next group of 5th graders!

Event: Other in Mount Holly, North Carolina
Ramona Moore Big Eagle performed for the Fort Meade Military Community at our National American Indian Heritage Month Observance. As the Installation Equal Opportunity Advisor and coordinating official for the event, I was truly pleased and impressed. She, by far, exceeded all expectations. With her artifacts and storytelling, she was able to enthusiastically educate and entertain the audience, making them aware of the American Indian culture and traditions. As one member of the audience said, "I was like a kid anxiously waiting to hear what's going to happen next in the story!" Ramona Big Eagle is a true treasure.
