Pamyua is Alaska’s most famous Inuit band!
Their performances honor and share indigenous Inuit cultural traditions through ceremony and songs passed down through generations. Their unique performances blend traditional Inuit drum/dance melodies with contemporary R&B and soul music, often referred to as “tribal funk” or “Inuit soul.”
On Tuesday, we were fortunate to have Pamyua visit BEA Elementary School,; students enjoyed learning about the inuit culture through music and were able to see the similarities and differences to their own culture.
We are grateful for the enriching experience of welcoming individuals from different cultures, expanding our horizons and deepening our understanding of the world around us. 🌍🤝
Learn more about "Pamyua" by watching this short PBS sponsored video:

🎨📚Rick Chrustowski, author and illustrator of children's books such as Bee Dance and My Little Fox, made a visit to Blue Earth Area Elementary School this week, where he talked to the audience about how he finds his book inspirations in nature and how a book is written from start to finish. It's also a special treat that the school library now has a drawing of a hummingbird from his visit, serving as a lasting reminder of the event.
You can find our more about this author on his website at https://www.rickchrustowski.com/ and you can check out his books by visiting our area libraries.
