3rd Grade Beadwork Showcased in a Gallery on Madeline Island this Summer
By Ms. Valerie Clark
|
|
3rd grade Ojibwe students at ICS participated in a project with the Madeline Island Museum (MIM), on an exhibit that will be on display all summer titled "Ojibwe Youth Beadwork Exhibit." This exhibit will give our youth the chance to control the narrative and hold that space as theirs. It will give the community a chance to celebrate their talents, and demonstrate we believe they can excel and be valued in tribal and non-tribal spaces like museums, colleges, construction sites, and whatever they choose to do. Each student beaded either a medallion, a bracelet, or a keychain to add to the exhibit. They included a picture of themselves, their tribe, and a title for their piece. If you have a chance to make it to Ashland, Wisconsin, our students' work will be displayed until October 2022. To see their beautiful beadwork, visit Madeline Island, or click here!
