The Journey of Tiak Hikiya Ohoyo (Director Mark D. Williams [Choctaw])
This compelling documentary follows the Choctaw women’s stickball team from the community of Standing Pine as they compete for their first championship in the World Series of Stickball in Mississippi. This inspiring story reveals the history of stickball – more than a sport, the ancient game is medicine, and part of Choctaw identity. The film provides a window into the importance of the game to the ladies who play for their ancestors and their communities. (Digital Feather Media, 2021, 48 min.).
Following the film, please join us for a live Zoom discussion with filmmaker Mark D. Williams, moderated by Mervyn Tano, President, IIIRM.

Blast off to new discoveries with this live program that merges space science and scientific illustration! Titan is Saturn's largest moon and one of the most fascinating places in our solar system. Students and teachers will learn how to capture their own Titan investigations using scientifically accurate illustrations, just as other great scientists have done throughout history.
Explore the physical, emotional and chemical changes to the human body during a sensitive, respectful, co-ed discussion led by a professional educator. Ask honest questions and get honest answers. This class is now only offered as a Distance Learning course.
Are your students hungry for new learning? Explore the cells and organs of our digestive system, a.k.a. your guts, from saliva to bile and rugae to villi. Learn how your guts work with other body systems to break down food to be used as building materials and to provide a raw energy source for all living cells in the body.
Science and art collide to bring the past to life! Your students will take a journey of discovery and creation as they use real fossil evidence to sculpt their very own dinosaurs. This fun class blends live virtual instruction from a Museum educator with mixed digital media, kinesthetic activities, and two-way interactivity. Students piece together clues that teach them about dinosaurs and show them how scientists and artists work together to understand the deep past. Sculpt-a-saurus introduces learners to scientific methodology as well as paleontology, fossilization, erosion, adaptation, and climate.
