FOLKLORE
AND THE ENVIRONMENT:

Tradition in a
Changing World

COME JOIN A VERY SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY EVENT AT NDSU IN JUNE 2000! This is the 10th year that the North Dakota Council on the Arts has sponsored a summer teachers' institute that focuses on folklore and folk art. This year's institute will examine the fascinating interplay between folklore and the environment. Emphasis will be given to folklore, folk art, and traditional foodways. A central question will be considered: How have people in different cultures affected their environment and how, in turn, has the environment affected people and traditional cultures?

This class is geared toward teachers who wish to integrate multicultural material and new perspectives into their curricula. The class is open to all interested persons. Each day, folk artists and scholars will interact with class participants. An all-day multiple site field trip will be taken on Wednesday, June 28.

This course is funded by the North Dakota Council on the Arts and during the past ten years has received national recognition from both the U.S. Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Be sure to register soon as enrollment is limited.
