Adult Program: Humanities Kansas Folklife Series: Ribbonwork Traditions
Advertisement
Join us Thursday, July 9th at 5:30pm to hear the third in a series of programs offered through Humanities Kansas entitled
Kansas Folklife: Celebrating Kansas Traditions. This program is Native American Ribbonwork Traditions.
"As a member of the Menominee and Potawatomi tribal nations, Jancita’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. Jancita 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."
Jancita Warrington is the Executive Director of the Kansas Native American Affairs office.
