TwoWings Learning Center presents three workshops next weekend featuring Kevin Locke, world-renowned hoop dancer, traditional storyteller, recording artist and educator.

Locke, whose Lakota name, Tokeya Inajin, means “The First to Arise,” leads “Walking the Good Red Road” at 2 p.m. Sept. 27 at The River Theater, 230 W. Marine Drive. The interactive workshop, taught through the traditional method of stories, music and dance, applies traditional cultural values to modern times, discussing health concepts and healing methods of the Lakota. Cost is $25 if preregistered or $35 at the door; children accompanying a paying adult are free.

“Sensitivity Workshop for Non-Native Teachers of Minority Students” suggests ways to use the diversity of a classroom to get the best education for all students while providing the instructor with tools useful in getting students comfortable to interact with one another, providing an atmosphere conducive to learning, said Katrina Morrell, special events coordinator for TwoWings Learning Center. The workshop, held at 7 p.m. Sept. 27 at The River Theater, is $25 if pre-registered and $35 at the door. Proceeds help defray costs of future workshops.

At 11 a.m. Sept. 28, the “Anti-Substance Abuse and Self Esteem Workshop” encourages children and youth to learn how to value and trust themselves as the best tool in overcoming peer and cultural pressure and substance abuse. Admission is $1 for the workshop, held at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds, and no pre-registration is required.
