Telling Native American stories
How should Indigenous stories be told, and what should young people know about telling them? The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture is hosting a series of virtual sessions with accomplished Native American scholars, filmmakers, and writers. On Thursday, Nov. 19, Daniel Vandever speaks. An instructor and communications director at Navajo Technical University, Vandever also wrote a children’s book in 2017. The Dec. 3 session features filmmaker Melissa Henry, who documented elements of her childhood on the Navajo Reservation. And singer, actor, and comic book writer Arigon Starr hosts the final session on Dec. 10. All sessions are free of charge and scheduled for 1 p.m. start times.

So Santa Feans can participate from afar. More than 500 San Francisco Opera costumes will be available, most from the operettas The Merry Widow and Die Fledermaus (perfect for future party- going), and from Tannhäuser (for those of a more Wagnerian bent). Prices start at $75; specifications and photos for each costume will be available at sfopera. com/costumesale. Online shopping at begins at 1 p.m. local time on Friday, Nov. 13 and ends at 12:59 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 15. — Mark Tiarks | For The New Mexican
