"This exhibition is an acknowledgement and honouring of cornhusk, one of the most important and ancient materials used by the Haudenosaunne.
Exhibiting artwork made from corn husk as well as sharing the versatility of the corn plant.
“Cornhusk protects. It has protected the integrity of the corn seed on each cob, on every stalk in every field, every year, for too many years to count. Corn is still gathered, and the husk is still braided for storing the same way that it has been for several years over many generations. The husk that has and continues to protect the integrity of each kernel of corn is now used to protect the stories.” – Elizabeth Doxtater" (From Woodland Cultural Centre website)

What’s the story behind the ribbon skirt?
"North America was colonized by several European countries and these various nations brought a wide assortment of goods to the continent to be traded with native groups. A lot of ordinary objects from Europe had a high market value for Indigenous tribes. Native peoples would adapt the purpose and uses of a lot of those items. Which is what happened with silk ribbons, which were used by Woodland Indians to create a form of appliqué decoration that Europeans had never seen before. Participants will create their own ribbon dress and shirt. More Info on the Workshop please email as space will be limited." (From Woodland Cultural Centre website) |
