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.

Margaret Stewart Designs
Aug 12th, 2009 Posted in FEATURED, NATIVE ART | Comments OffMargaret Stewart does glass & marble engravings, one of a kind custom.
Designs can be taken from your own photos or even your own art work. All engravings are one-of-a-kind, created for unique one-of-a-kind people! Your imagination is the limit!
Styles of engraving are done free hand with miniature grind stones and is very similar to scratch board art or an ink sketch only it is created on glass or mirror like the Blue Ridge Lodge or the Family Time Wolves engravings on 24 X 36″ bronze mirrors found at the website.
There is an other option that is of Sand Carving, to get a better idea of what can be created for any special occasion.

Native Artist: Tiffany Eggenberg Contemporary Portraits
Jan 1st, 2009 Posted in DAKOTA HISTORY, NATIVE ART, PEOPLE, STORIES, FOLKLORE & HISTORY | Comments Off
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

Tribal Dresses, Stories, Labor and Female Bonding
Dec 2nd, 2008 Posted in NATIVE ART | Comments OffBy KAREN ROSENBERG
Published: October 7, 2008
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.

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
