The Utah State Office of Education Title VII Program in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Red Butte Garden, the Urban Indian Center and the Utah Natural History Museum hosted the second annual of the Earth Connections Camp, American Indian Nature Camp on June 18.
The camp’s goal is to reconnect urban American Indian youth with their natural world and cultural heritage, organizers said.
The 30 campers, divided into two groups, spent the day at Red Butte Garden learning about American Indian traditions, history, arts and craft, storytelling and nutrition.
American Indian educators and specialists from the various partners led each of the learning stations.
Juan Palma, BLM Utah state director, was the keynote speaker. He shared his story of growing up in a family of migrant workers and the difference education made in his life.
Other activities during the day-long camp included building solar toys and constructing dams with the assistance of Bureau of Reclamation staff.
“I was so impressed with the instructors, volunteers, and especially the campers,” said Jeanette Shackelford, BLM Utah State Youth Program Lead. “The kids were respectful and attentive, and I personally learned a lot from listening to the different sessions.”
Organizers hope to continue to collaborate and expand the day-camp to have more students attend.
Music & Memory Book-to-Action Program: Community Reading and Civic Engagement
On April 16, 2015, Hayward High School's String Orchestra, led by Music Department Director Nicholas Tocca, performed at the Josephine Lum Lodge, a senior residence in Hayward operated by Eden Housing. They performed a wide-ranging repertoire, including memorable songs by George Gershwin ("Someone to Watch Over Me"), the Beatles ("Let it Be"), and invited seniors to sing along with a beautiful arrangement of "Amazing Grace." Bringing young and old together, the event was the first musical gathering of the series celebrating the healing power of music.
Listen to Your Heart! Read Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain by Oliver Sacks – and Help Enrich the Lives of Local Seniors with Music!
Gain knowledge about and promote programs that bring the healing power of music to local seniors and others who suffer from dementia and other medical conditions that isolate them from society and disconnect them from their memories, identities, and sense of purpose. Request a free copy of Musicophilia (while supplies last) at the Hayward Main Library – registration information below.
Book-to-Action encourages community members to read Musicophilia, a fascinating book that explores the place music occupies in the brain and how it affects the human condition.
On April 30, community members will expand their awareness of music’s impact on the brain by watching the moving and illuminating documentary “Alive Inside.”
Finally, we invite the community to engage in a civic engagement activity related to the significant role of music in our culture, ranging from the community-building aspects of making music in social environments, to the healing power of music to help people with dementia access their memories and identities.
"Alive Inside" addresses how seniors in modern American culture – which places a premium value on all aspects of being young – often lose their authority and sense of purpose in their later years. Bringing these ideas together, we invite members of the Hayward community to participate in community sing-alongs and other musical events with seniors at places where they live and gather.
By registering for at least one event, you are eligible to obtain a free copy of the featured book Musicophilia (while supplies last).
