A powwow or Native community event isn’t complete without the arts and crafts section. Among the jewelers’ and artists’ tables are booths displaying mostly inexpensive art pieces that are hand-sewn, glue-gunned, glittered and painted. These items and the craftspeople who make them don’t always get the spotlight, but their presence is ubiquitous. We’re giving them some well-deserved attention and talking about the art of the craft.
Guests:
Jessie Bennett (Diné) – multimedia artist
JoAnne Smith (Jemez Pueblo) – Native American fine woodworking artist
Bill Stewart (Oglala Lakota Sioux tribe) – founder of Wild Bill Designs
Break 1 music: Powwow Bells (single song) Orlando Cruz (artist)
Break 2 music: My Winter Song (song) Andrea Menard (artist) Sparkle Holiday (album)
