All my Relations arts program will debut “Magic Wands” by film maker Elizabeth Day along with a new short by Jonathan Thunder, and a presentation of Hawk Eyes by Barbara Britain-a documentary recorded in Ancient Traders Gallery.  Other short works by American Indian filmmakers to be announced. 

In Magic Wands an Ojibwe elder (speaking Ojibwemowin) tells her granddaughter the story of a young boy who experiences wild ricing for the first time.  The boy is captivated by the power of his ricing sticks, which he believes to be ‘magic wands’.  Immersed as the grandmother narrates the tale in Ojibwe, she answers her granddaughters question about the sacredness and importance of wild rice to the Ojibwe people.

Art: History lesson

By Mary Abbe, Star Tribune

Dyani-Reynolds-Whitehawk draws nooses and the number 38 in her flag-like painting about the Mankato event. It was, and still is, the largest mass execution in U.S. history.

Minnesota’s 150th birthday is viewed through American Indian eyes in a show at Ancient Traders Gallery.

Tiffany Eggenberg offers sensitive pastel portraits of contemporary individuals whom she evidently encountered on an annual march commemorating the Dakota’s 1862-63 incarceration near Fort Snelling.

One of the more troubling incidents in Minnesota history occurred in Mankato 146 years ago today when 38 Dakota Sioux Indians were hanged in the largest mass execution in U.S. history. Their deaths were the culmination of four months of warfare between the Dakota and white settlers in the Minnesota River Valley. Sparked by white incursion into Indian lands, the battles were fueled by the federal government’s violation of its own treaties, exploitation by traders who impounded payments due the Indians, retaliatory theft and slaughter by the Indians and subsequent atrocities on both sides.

Starvation, cultural differences, bounties, race hatred, disease and injustice contributed to

Most of us get dressed in the morning with only the vaguest notion of where the clothes on our backs come from. A 19th-century American Indian woman could tell you exactly who had hunted the animals from which her dress was taken. She would know who had tanned the hides, stitched them together and sewed hundreds of beads onto them, and what the pattern of those beads signified.

VIEW SLIDE SHOW OF BEAUTIFUL FEMALE NATIVE OUTFITS

Walter Larrimore/Smithsonian’s National Museum of The American Indian

“Identity by Design” at the New York branch of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, includes a powwow dress, above.

More than 50 of these dresses are on view in “Identity by Design: Tradition, Change and Celebration in Native Women’s Dresses,” at the New York branch of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. These are heavy garments, and not just because they are dripping with beads, coins and other ornaments. Each is weighted with the circumstance and life story of the woman who wore it, as well as the history of her tribe.

The show takes the form of a loose, informal conversation among the curators, Colleen Cutschall and Emil Her Many Horses, and six Indian women who are respected dressmakers. The wall text consists almost entirely of quotations from these artists. Their reminiscences and musings are sometimes cloying, but the absence of pedagogy is refreshing.

“Identity by Design” also challenges the stereotype of

A butterfly with transparent wings is rare and beautiful. As delicate as finely blown glass, the

presence of this rare tropical gem is used by rain forest ecologists as an indication of high

habitat quality and its demise alerts them of ecological change.  Rivaling the refined beauty of

a stained glass window, the translucent wings of the Glasswing butterfly shimmer in the

sunlight like polished panes of turquoise, orange, green, and red. All things beautiful do not

have to be full of color to be noticed: in life that which is unnoticed has the most power.

Hello,

I just wanted to take a minute of your time to introduce one my favorite new artist. Her name is Crystal Shawanda and she is truly an amazing talent! 

Crystal pours her heart & soul into her music, because it is her lifeline.  A Native American, Crystal grew up on the Wikwemikong Indian Reserve in Ontario , Canada .  Her last name, “Shawanda” literally translates to the album title, “Dawn of a New Day” – and a new day is what music has given Crystal .   CLICK BELOW TO READ MORE

Sattler’s ultra-detailed interpretations examine the inseparable relationship between the Indian and his natural world, reflecting a culture that had no hard line between the sacred and the mundane. Each painting functions on the premise that all natural phenomena have … MORE
