Summer has arrived and there is a hot new activity now at the O.C.C.!
Next time you visit us, be sure to pick up a Hellbender Activity Guide to learn about our museum residents, Mudkip and Wooper, as well as all their hellbender friends.
Upon completion of the guide visitors are encouraged to visit the museum front desk to take a pledge to protect Ëtinoʹënh (aye-tee-noh!-enh); [Earth; Lit. our mother]. With the pledge visitors will receive a “Hellbender Defender” badge, proclaiming themselves as an official “Hellbender Defender” and Protector of the Ohi:yoʹ!
Congratulations and Nyawëh to our Design Contest winners, Teyotsihstokwáthe Dakota Brant and Ruben Rivera IV.
