Ajijaak on Turtle Island: Cranes in North America

Ajijaak on Turtle Island: Cranes in North America

Travel with the cranes as they migrate across Turtle Island. Nebraska’s favorite bird takes center stage in this larger-than-life production featuring live music, dance, and many of the finest puppets in the world. The story features Native American/Indigenous artists, music, language, and culture with puppets created by the Jim Henson Creature Shop (creator of the Muppets). This family-friendly show will inspire you with an incredibly beautiful production created in NYC with inspiration from Nebraska and the North American crane migration.

“Deer, buffalo and coyote came to life on stage, as cranes and butterflies soared overhead.”
- Lincoln Journal Star
