Shamrock Gardens receives a visit from members of the Tuscarora tribe
Posted on 11/5/2024:
Shamrock Gardens elementary students were enthralled during a cultural and educational visit from Kaya Littleturtle and his family! Over the course of this visit, Littleturtle shared some local tribe history, shared some of their language, introduced his brother and sister for dance performances, and stood proudly as his grandmother told a story of the bear.
The Tuscarora are related to the Lumbee tribe, and his family resides in Robeson County. Having grown up in a home filled with tradition, history, and native stories, Littleturtle remains inspired to carry on their traditions and to preserve the community.
