We are excited to share this new project for learning Myaamia language and culture at home. Miami Tribe artist, Greta Sirois, has created two beautiful seasonal scenes for us to enjoy throughout the year. She has depicted numerous native plants and animals that are active in the summer and many of the activities that we all enjoy in winter. We hope this imagery will serve as a starting point for you and your family to learn more about Myaamia ecology.
