Native American Ribbonwork Traditions

5:30 p.m. CT

As a member of the Menominee and Potawatomi tribal nations, Jancita Warrington’s presentation shares the rich cultural tradition of woodland ribbonwork. As Indigenous people were forced from their homelands near the Great Lakes to Kansas, these traditions made their way to the prairie. Warrington will share the history, symbols, and styles found in this tradition, demonstrate how it’s done, have examples of her own incredible work on display, and demonstrate one of the dances that was made for the women of the Anishinabae Nations.
