HOISINGTON — Students at Hoisington’s USD 431 schools, as well as students at Otis-Bison, had the rare opportunity this past week to meet and learn from an award winning Native American musician, flute maker and storyteller Keith Bear. And Bear has had the opportunity to visit with family and friends, and to finally meet his youngest grandchild for the first time. The Hoisington Elementary Parents Association, of which his daughter, Stephanie Kaiser is an active member, teamed up with Rosewood Services to bring Bear to Hoisington.
