The Huron Carol is a Canadian classic, telling of the birth of Jesus from an aboriginal perspective. The children of Burns used a new narration written by Canadian author David Bouchard and pantomimed the story. The children learned about the culture of the Huron people from the early 1600s and created a set and costumes to depict that era — note the creative use of canoe paddles.
