Aaden is a 7-year-old boy of Japanese and Ponca heritage who loves music. He enjoys singing, playing rhythms on anything he can find, and discovering new sounds. Whether he’s listening to his favorite songs or making up his own tunes, Aaden brings creativity and joy to everything he does.
My art piece shows my tribe, Ponca of Oklahoma. It means that we should honor our ancestors and that we should always be kind. The teepees represent home, the peace pipe represents peace for all and the sun gives us life.
