This Land is Your Land

This Land is Your Land Skills:

Woody Guthrie (1912-1967)

Woody was very curious and a keen observer of the world around him. He loved to draw and paint. During his childhood in Oklahoma, Woody experienced great loss: his older sister Clara died accidentally, his mother was put in an institution, and his family was financially ruined. Yet Woody is considered one of the most significant American singer-songwriters of folk music. He wrote hundreds of songs including country, folk, and, ballads, childrenʼs songs and improvised works. This Land is Your Land is one his most recognized songs and a Glacier Valley favorite.
