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. Jancita will share the this tradition, demonstrate how it’s done and demonstrate one of the dances that was made for the women of the Anishinabae Nations.
This program is part of By the People: Conversations Beyond 250, a series of community-driven programs created by humanities councils in collaboration with local partners. The initiative was developed by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
