February’s Wonder Sunday is on the third floor of the <strong><a href="http://www.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/MainSite/default.aspx">Royal BC Museum</a></strong>.<br /> <br /> This event focuses on the past and present of First Nations in British Columbia. Children can learn about the totem poles in the gallery then draw and use stamps to create their own pole and write its story. Families find out what life in the Pit-house, the Ktunaxa encampment or the Skedans village might have been like. Kids can also explore the deeper past with hands-on learning games featuring tools similar to those found in archaeological digs.<br /> <br /> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pOyRArf3VH4/Tz0360TFqeI/AAAAAAAAIGg/cRPc8nwpm4I/s1600/roberta_head.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pOyRArf3VH4/Tz0360TFqeI/AAAAAAAAIGg/cRPc8nwpm4I/s320/roberta_head.jpg" width="212px" yda="true" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.sharkhouse.ca/">&nbsp;Kung Jaadee</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> Haida storyteller<a href="http://www.sharkhouse.ca/"> Kung Jaadee</a> is a singer, storyteller, and drummer. She has performed for nearly twenty years and is originally from Haida Gwaii though she has also lived in Yellowknife and Winnipeg, where she served as Storyteller-in-Residence at the University of Manitoba Centre for Creative Writing and Oral Culture. Her stories tell of a time when the animals taught people how to be true haada laas (good people). Kung Jaadee’s name, Woman in the Moon, is the personal crest she wears on her button blanket.<br /> <br /> Judy Elk will show how moccasins are made. Here in BC, this footwear created from tanned animal hides was most often made and worn by the peoples of the interior plateau.<br /> <br /> Drum maker Jorge Lewis is a First Nations artist from the Snuneymuxw nation of Nanaimo, and is a descendant of shamans, mask dancers and chiefs. Jorge believes that drumming helps people become spiritually centred and connects the inner self with all that surrounds us.<br /> <br /> The event’s closing ceremonies, will include the masks and regalia of the Le-La-La Dancers and dancing of the Kwakwaka'wakw culture.<br /> <br /> Activities for this Wonder Sunday were selected or created by the museum’s program developers in partnership with Leslie McGarry, Culture and Community Liaison with the Victoria Native Friendship Centre.<br /> <br /> Wonder Sunday is a monthly family event designed for children and their parents or guardians to enjoy the afternoon together at the Royal BC Museum. The Wonder Sunday First Peoples activities do not require pre-registration and take place from 1 to 3 pm on Feb 26. Wonder Sunday is included with museum admission or membership.<br /> <br /> This event is preceded by a Royal BC Museum Kids’ Club activity.

This brave adventure follows Dorothy and her three strange friends - a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion without any courage as they journey on to see the great and powerful Wizard of Oz. During Dorothyʼs search for the Wizard she discovers the true meaning of friendship, personal growth, and most important: that there is no place like home!<br /> <br /> This quintessential North-American fairy tale is brought to life using a seamless blend of music, theatrical techniques, fabulous sets, props, and magical tricks. This ground-breaking presentation starring Kathryn Popham features young artists from Kaleidoscopeʼs own Performing Arts Studio playing all of your favorite characters!<br /> <br /> <strong>The Wizard of Oz</strong> chronicles the adventures of a young girl named Dorothy Gale in the Land of Oz, after being swept away from her Kansas farm home in a storm. Thanks in part to the 1939 MGM movie, it is one of the best-known stories in popular culture and has been widely translated around the world.<br /> <br /> Kaleidoscopeʼs Family Theatre Series concludes with Dufflebag Theatreʼs The Three Musketeers on April 15, 2012. Kaleidoscopeʼs Family Theatre Series is presented by our season sponsor Thrifty Foods.
