November is Native American Heritage Month. Celebrate with Indigenous art.
Shekóli (“hello” in Oneida) and yaw^ko (“thank you”) for reading the First Nations Wisconsin newsletter. November is Native American Heritage Month and Indigenous artists are celebrating by showcasing their work. On Nov. 7 and 8, the Woodland Indian Art Show and Market will feature the work of 45 Indigenous artisans at the Oneida Hotel in Green Bay. Carvings, jewelry, weaving, pottery, quillwork and beadwork will all be on sale. As part of the event, the Thee Clans Ballroom will feature the Oneida Hymn Singers, an Indigenous fashion show and a book reading of “Drums Along the Fox” by Rick Church. On Saturday, Nov. 14, the Native Art Market will feature more than 40 Indigenous artists at the Arts and Literature Laboratory in Madison.
