Native American educational programs

Shining Spirit (left) poses with her friend and colleague Ghost in the Head at her home in Mill Run. Shining Spirit and Ghost in the Head have been hosting a variety of educational programs for the past seven years to teach the history and heritage of Native Americans. "We strive for authenticity as opposed to... the more commercial Hollywood stuff," said Ghost in the Head.

Shining Spirit and her friend and colleague Ghost in the Head, play a game of "Double Ball" with her grandchildren at her home in Mill Run. The game is similar to lacrosse though Shining Spirit describes it as "the female version" due to women originally not being allowed to play the game.

Shining Spirit plays "the bowl game" with her grandchildren at her home in Mill Run. The game is traditionally played with peach pits and either a turtle shell or a wooden basket with the objective being to shake the bowl and get the most pits facing upwards as possible.
