Goldbelt Heritage Foundation is beginning a free Tlingit culture and language program at Zach Gordon Youth Center on Saturday.

Over the next five Saturdays, kids will make and paint traditional Tlingit drums, learn some language and hear stories with Paul Marks, a Tlingit language and culture specialist with Goldbelt Heritage.

The 3-hour sessions begin at 1 p.m. this Saturday.

The program is free, but limited to 15 participants age 8 and older. It’s geared toward families, and elementary and middle school students.

Register through the Zach Gordon Youth Center at 586-2635.
