Letter from the Editor
I f you’ve followed MetroFamily for any length of time, you know not much gets our team more excited than fall fun (some of us may or may not start putting out pumpkins in August). We consistently hear from readers that this is one of your favorite times of year, too. In addition to pumpkin-related fun, readers have been asking for more health and wellness content, with an emphasis on mental health. With that in mind, in this issue you’ll find our first Healthy Families Guide. While our kids’ health is top of mind for us as parents, I know from experience that our own health needs often fall by the wayside. Before you peruse these pages, stop and consider when YOU last made a health appointment. If it’s been awhile, make a list of who you’re due to see and start scheduling.

I’m living proof that caring for yourself first as a parent will have long-lasting positive effects for your entire family.
Two years ago, at the age of 39 and as I was training for my eighth half marathon, I was diagnosed with an extremely rare heart condition, which classified me in heart failure and necessitated the placement of a pacemaker/ defibrillator. This past spring, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, followed by a total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine therapy. Both times, something felt off. I put off the appointments for a bit but eventually relented, knowing I needed answers. In both cases, I was told because I’d listened to my body and sought help, life-saving interventions were available. I’m confident I’m here for my family today, making fall fun plans, because I have made the time to take care of myself. (And that includes regular therapy appointments, too.) I also know taking care of yourself as a parent is not easy or inexpensive. Even as I grumble about going to my many doctor’s appointments, it’s never lost on me how fortunate I am to have a flexible job, insurance, the means to pay for out-of-pocket expenses, transportation and childcare. If you’re in the same boat, I invite you to consider your blessings, too. And if you need assistance with health and medical costs, please visit metrofamilymagazine. com/healthcare-resources to find local organizations that can help. I hope you enjoy all the fall fun your family can handle this season — but first, I hope you prioritize your health and wellness. You’re worth it.
With hope,

Pivot helps youth facing housing instability In July, Pivot opened 15 tiny homes in Oklahoma City designed to help youth facing housing instability after aging out of foster care. The new homes were made possible through a grant from Oklahoma Human Services. Various local designers and groups helped decorate and furnish the homes. Pivot is a nonprofit that works with young people ages 12 to 24 who are
experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, alone or disengaged. The organization provides programs and services that focus on meeting housing and basic needs, education and job assistance.

Inspirational First Americans Meet FAM’s new CEO, Dr. Kelli Mosteller BY ERIN PAGE . PHOTOS PROVIDED. D r. Kelli Mosteller’s journey from rural Oklahoma to CEO of the First Americans Museum is a testament to the profound influence of her Citizen Potawatomi Nation heritage and a lifetime dedicated to preserving Indigenous culture. Mosteller grew up in Comanche, Okla., a small town of less than 2,000 people. Her heritage was an integral part of her childhood, thanks in large part to her grandmother. “Having Potawatomi history and art around us was important,” said Mosteller. “We went to a Native summer camp in Lawton, we had Johnson-O’Malley activities [federally funded supplemental education for Native students] after school … I was in a world where many people around me were Native.” That immersion and pride in her culture inspired her career. Even before her first day at Oklahoma State University, she declared a history major and never wavered across 13 years of higher education. She earned her doctorate from the University of Texas and completed her dissertation on the Citizen Potawatomi Nation while also serving as executive director of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Cultural Heritage Center in Shawnee. She held that position for 12 years; then she became executive director of Harvard University Native American Program in 2022. Mosteller returns home as CEO of First Americans Museum, a role for which her extensive experience in Indigenous cultural preservation, museum management, tribal community engagement and academia have prepared her well. Beyond her technical experience, her enthusiasm for mentoring youth, respect for her ancestors and unbridled joy in her Native and Oklahoma heritage uniquely position her to lead FAM into the institution’s next phase. Dr. Mosteller shared her visionary plans to amplify FAM’s impact here in Oklahoma City and around the globe.
How have your professional experiences prepared you for your role at FAM? The journey really started while working on my PhD at the University of Texas. Tribal leadership reached out, said the director position was open at the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Cultural Heritage Center and they wanted to talk to me about it. I was so honored to be asked to join that team. Taking on this position while finishing my dissertation, I don’t think I understood how integral it would be to furthering my knowledge of my community. I was knowledged in literature and chronology, but when you start talking to people about their history and what it means to them, you get such a deeper understanding. In my first few weeks on the job, we got permission to rebuild the museum exhibits and galleries. I was new to the museum side of things, so I learned on the job. I did that work under the best circumstances — when we had grants and plans and time — and under the most stressful — when the museum was flooded, we had insurance claims and had to tear out exhibits and start fresh. I was also able to work with FAM [before opening] as they made sure each tribal community could tell their own story and represent their history the way they wanted to. And I’ve seen the response to the

exhibits, phenomenal programming and educational opportunities. That is something FAM is doing better than anyone — from FAMcamps to bringing in Indigenous cultural conventions — they are embracing the renaissance in Oklahoma. Tribes are at the center of that, and we need to make sure people understand how integral we are to the history and future of this state. What are your priorities as FAM’s CEO? First, I want to get familiar with the staff and see where they need support. My next priority is in-depth, targeted outreach to tribal communities. There are 39 tribes in Oklahoma, and we have a varied range of sizes, resources and geographies, and I want to make sure every tribal community is feeling that outreach and deep engagement. I’m focused on helping open the FAMily Discovery Center, which will [have] permanent exhibits targeted to kids and families. So often we hear adults say they didn’t learn much about Native people in school. I am looking forward to this space where kids are not only familiar with Native history but also learning unique things about these dynamic tribes and how to think from an Indigenous point of view. I don’t think people quite appreciate how unique Oklahoma is in this capacity — to have 39 tribes that represent everything from southeast cultures to woodlands cultures. FAM is perfectly positioned to help share those histories. We can all be proud of these cultures as Oklahomans and as Americans. I’m also looking forward to the opening of OKANA [Resort and Indoor Waterpark], which will open FAM to a new audience. OKANA will bring people to this part of OKC [to] see and discuss Native heritage and culture — and see how tribes are thriving. Do you have a favorite exhibit at First Americans Museum? I’m glad to see how much care and attention FAM puts into telling the stories of Native veterans. At the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Cultural Heritage Center, we have the long room dedicated to our veterans. We went through several iterations until we came to the current one, honoring the spirit of what it means to be in the military. We organized veterans alphabetically so families would be grouped together. In some cases, we have three, four, five generations of the same family who all served. This honors the history and legacy of what it means to be Native American and a military veteran. We had strong warrior societies even before the United States began. For Native people, the history of military service is intertwined with what it means to take care of family and homeland. What makes FAM such a great place for families to visit? FAM is a cultural institution where families can visit, and time after time, there will be something new to see. It’s a way for families to learn together and spend time together. When you see this as your cultural institution and that this history belongs to you as a resident of Oklahoma City, that’s an opportunity to take pride in that history. Construction is ready to start on the FAMily Discovery Center, and the space will be open in early-to-mid 2025. If you’ve visited, you’ve seen Grandmother Turtle marking where it will be, and she will serve as a guide to the immersive space. The space has a storybook, pop-up feel that will take you through various elements of the cultures in Oklahoma today.
Meet more inspirational First Americans at First Americans Museum! The museum is open Wednesday through Monday, and the third Sunday of each month is free for kids 12 and under. Learn more here.
How do you hope to continue to serve as a role model for Indigenous youth? I came from a small, rural community — we didn’t even have AP classes — and now I’ve been at Harvard. I had a wonderful childhood, but there was no one in my orbit who left home to do things outside of our small community. I hope with my life experience that I can be an auntie and relative and friend to say to young people — whether their goal is to stay in their community and work, leave and come back with experience or go out into the world and show people what Indigenous people can do — ‘whatever you can imagine is possible.’ I learned at Harvard that what kids need is encouragement and support. If I can be that person for even one kid in our community, I have done my job. Editor’s note: This article is part of a series produced in conjunction with First Americans Museum to share the stories of inspirational modern-day First Americans.

Exploring Oklahoma with Children
A s a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) enthusiast raising two children, I’m committed to finding the best immersive, creative and fun STEM experiences for my kids. And the good news is we don’t have to go far! Here’s a roundup of my favorite museums, outdoor adventures and hands-on opportunities right here in Oklahoma that your family can explore this fall and beyond. STEM Adventures Await! Discover Oklahoma’s best STEM experiences, near and far ARTICLE & PHOTOS BY SALLY HOCH Metropolitan Library System “Focus on the process, not the product,” says the sign outside the door. “Be prepared to tinker, play and problem-solve.” The 3D printers were already whirring as we walked into the Belle Isle Library Makerspace. Free to the public, and best suited for patrons ages 9 and up, the MLS Studio probably owns that creative machine you want to try. There is a soldering station, a stop-motion animation studio and sewing machines. The computers are loaded with Procreate, Adobe Creative Suite and Blender. There’s even a Cricut, a Brother embroidery machine and, of course, crafting supplies like markers, scissors and glue. I worried my children, younger than the target age group, would get hurt or break something valuable in the space, but the librarian, Lindsay, showed us the button makers, which were the perfect age-appropriate project we could tackle (with help). My kids drew and cut paper for their buttons, then Lindsay helped them load the button machine. The kids took the lever-pulling part of the job very seriously and emerged from the studio as owners of the most impressive buttons OKC has ever seen! NEAR Makerspaces at Patrons need a library card number to reserve the space for up to two hours at a time. The MLS Studios are free to the public and located at the Almonte, Belle Isle and Bethany libraries. Learn more at metrolibrary.org.

SKELETONS: Museum of Osteology
“Our beetles clean the bones,” a tour guide announced, pointing to a small terrarium, as my daughter and I entered SKELETONS: Museum of Osteology. I had to stash away his words about the beetles to ponder later because above us hung a gigantic humpback whale skeleton, spanning nearly the entire length of the museum. And that’s just one of almost 500 skeletons to see in this space! “Cheetah! Giraffe! Penguin!” my daughter yelled, pointing to skeletons with glee. Upstairs, a video plays on loop, including a clip from Discovery Channel’s “Dirty Jobs,” where Mike Rowe helps clean the massive humpback whale bones. Watching the clip while gazing over the whale skeleton, I remembered the tour guide’s words. My daughter and I returned to the little terrarium and gained a whole new appreciation for the flesh-eating Dermestid beetles. We decided together – we’ll let them keep their job! SKELETONS is located in south Oklahoma City. Learn more at skeletonmuseum.com.
YOUNG SCIENTISTS CAN SEE NEARLY 500 SKELETONS AT SKELETONS: MUSEUM OF OSTEOLOGY.

SCIENCE Myriad Gardens, OKC
ENGINEERING Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum, OKC How do engineers design buildings to keep them from collapsing? That’s what kids learn at the OKCNM STEM Lab. Participants use giant touch screen tables to test building materials against threats like natural disasters and blast waves from explosions to determine how to create buildings that withstand those threats. Best suited for middle schoolers (though appropriate for ages 4th grade through adults), STEM Lab access is available with group tickets and field trips. The museum also hosts regular family STEM nights. Find out more at memorialmuseum.com.
Step inside the Inasmuch Crystal Bridge Conservatory and you immediately feel the heat and humidity rise. That’s because you’re stepping into a new climate ecosystem where tropical rainforest plants thrive. Cross the suspended cylinder, and you’ll arrived in a desert ecosystem, a haven for cacti and succulents. With around 900 plant varieties and a new Mango Room featuring experiments, STEM activities and microscopic investigations, a trip to the Myriad Gardens is a must for all budding botanists. Check out their fall activity schedule at myriadgardens.org. TECHNOLOGY National Weather Center, Norman Suitable for all ages and free to the public, National Weather Center public tours highlight nationwide meteorological advances, including state-of-the-art technology. Between weather balloons, mobile mesonet trucks, radar trucks, new weather drones (called “coptersondes”) and a demo mesonet tower in the parking lot, the National Weather Center leads the way for the nation in weather research and tech. Find the tour schedule at ou.edu/nwc/visit .

Exploring Oklahoma with Children
FAR Discovery Lab “Hey, there’s a place in Tulsa I want to check out,” I said to a friend, a local doctor with three children. Bless her heart, she signed up for the experience, and the seven of us – two STEM nerds and five children – drove to Tulsa for a day trip. At the entrance of Tulsa’s Discovery Lab, a gigantic tunnel hung above our heads. But we didn’t have time to ogle because our 6-year- olds were racing to take off their shoes. Upon closer inspection, the tunnels are made completely of packing tape, demonstrating their strength and power in synergy. Kids can climb, play and slide through the tunnels, which are even strong enough to hold adults, including those parents who would rather keep both feet on the floor but need to save their suddenly-afraid-of-heights 4-year-old (it’s me!). Founded in 2007 as a “museum without walls” by a group of moms who saw a need for STEAM experiences in the community, the Discovery Lab is now a full-fledged museum with intentional, immersive exhibits. They introduce big concepts in hands-on ways, such as a solar energy roller coaster, powered by kids with a flashlight. Another exhibit, Ballapalooza, demonstrates the value of systems as children help balls move through tubes with vacuums and simple machines. When an oil derrick in the center fills, an alarm sounds and balls shoot into the sky. Children laugh, throw their hands in the air and start scooping up wayward balls again. All five of our children played in Ballapalooza for over an hour, rushing to stand beneath the falling balls as soon as the alarm bell rang. At the end of the day, we had five exhausted kids on the road trip home. The only regret was no one napped in the car! Plan your visit at discoverylab.org.
SLIDE THROUGH TUNNELS MADE OF PACKING TAPE AT TULSA’S DISCOVERY LAB.
Great Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge The Salt Plains are just what they sound like – a flat, barren, salty escape – leftover from when an ocean covered most of Oklahoma. The salt creates unique selenite crystals with a brown hourglass shape inside. Located northwest of OKC near Jet, Okla., it’s the only place in the world to dig for these crystals. After a two-hour road trip, we exited the car and noticed the ground beneath us was … white! It’s salt!
My son held his first crystal in the air after only a few minutes of digging. We gawked at the weird hourglass shape, then we took to the ground. We dug, talked, laughed and cheered as we hunted for our collective haul. We came home with a bucket full of the strange crystals. (Note: The limit is 10 pounds per person!) Before we left, my son dared me to lick the salty ground. I’m here to report back so you don’t have to try it – it absolutely (obviously!) tastes salty! Bring your own shovels, buckets, spades and water. Plus, don’t forget hats and sunscreen. The dedicated dig site is open from April 1 to Oct. 15. Visit fws.gov/refuge/salt-plains for more info.
