American Indian Education

A side-by-side image showing two scenes of Native American cultural performances. On the left, a person wearing traditional regalia with geometric patterns in white, red, and gold performs a dance in front of a seated audience of children in winter clothing. On the right, two people are shown performing with traditional drums - an adult and a young boy in a red shirt who appears to be singing or chanting while playing a large hand drum.
