Today I cam across a flyer for a very interesting event happening this Sunday , August 14th, at Dillman’s Resort in Lac du Flambeau (a simply beautiful setting!):
Woodland Ways: 3rd Annual Benefit for Northwoods Niijii’s Woodland Indian Art Initiative.
The schedule is:
3 pm – 5 pm – Demonstrations with Master Artists
Lac du Flambeau master artists demonstrate the Woodland arts of decoy carving, birch bark basketry, beading, hand drums and traditional flute-making. Also included will be a discussion about the practice and preservation of Woodland Indian arts and culture.
5:15 – 6 pm Native American Flutist Wade Fernandez (Menominee Indian Nation)
6:30– 8 pm Traditional Ojibwe Feast and Native Arts Raffle
Local culinary master and Lac du Flambeau Tribal member Robyne Thompson will create a variety of traditional Ojibwe foods with contemporary twist. Mint tea, wild rice, fish, vegetables, berry desserts, and, of course, fry bread.
