Music is a major part of our Native communities and culture. Singing songs to our little ones provide a vital connection to language and culture. We take time to discuss the importance of singing to babies and children. What were you taught growing up about sharing songs with young ones? Do you have memories of your parents and loved ones sing to you? What role do these songs play later in our lives?
