Wil Reding
The character, "Yas Ennya Oyaka",
knows a lot about Great Lakes mammals, he has been doing sharing
sessions for over 24 years. Participants will find the information
enjoyable to experience and personally enriching. In addition to
lively story-telling, with plenty of direct eye contact, "Yas"
uses: sight (he dresses as a woodsperson in a fake bear skin cape,
big black hat with feather, a patch over one eye and walking
softly in moccasins) smell (he eats a bit of garlic before each
presentation), sound (he has a gruff voice) and touch (he involves
his audience in his presentations) to teach. His information is
about the rich ecosystem of the Midwest United States and its’
inhabitants or any place he finds himself rambling.
Wil and Sarah Reding have more then
47 combined experience in presentations, along with Masters
Degrees in Education and Science. Their audiences have been
libraries, schools, camps, nature centers, and other groups, as
far away as Alaska, England and Africa. Their lessons are
based on sound naturalist principals to help all understand how
the Earth works and our responsibility.
