Bird Songs—Native American Stories that Connect to Today, Tomorrow, and Yesterday, will bring interactive theater presentations for children and families drawing on the stories and beliefs of the Gabrielino, Cahuilla, and Juaneño people.

Bird Songs will be presented at five Pasadena public libraries in celebration of Native American Heritage Month throughout November 2019.
