Children of the Montessori Elementary School in Kronberg (which is nearby Frankfurt am Main, roughly in the middle of Germany) have tried to find out as much as possible, about how the Native Americans lived in the past. They have also composed and recorded a song that has already been played on Radio Hopi FM in America.
In the second part of this show, which includes a PRX piece, young Native Americans will present aspects of their culture in a fabulous new format using live shows, where they present their very own poems about their ancestors, their myths and their traditions. You can listen to "Creation Poem", a poem about the creation according to the Navajo Nation.
