SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Discussion with Jaime Black-Morsette
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\nJoin us for our artist discussion about their work and who they are as artists. There will be a live Q&A at the end of each discussion.\nJoin the Mitchell Museum and the Consulate General of Canada for a virtual discussion with Jaime Black-Morsette\, a Red River Métis artist and activist living and working on their home territory near the confluence of Manitoba’s Red and Assiniboine rivers. \n\n\n\nFounder of The REDress Project in 2009\, Black-Morsette has been using their art practice as a way to gather community and create action and change around the epidemic of violence against Indigenous women and girls across Turtle Island and beyond for over 13 years. Black-Morsette’s interdisciplinary art practice includes immersive film and video\, installation art\, photography and performance art practices to explore themes of memory\, identity\, place and resistance.  \nThe REDress Project is an installation art project created by Métis artist Jaime Black-Morsette. The installation consists of hundreds of red dresses suspended in public spaces to mark the absence and evoke the presence of Indigenous women and girls who have gone missing or been murdered.  \nIndigenous women face higher rates of violence than any other cultural group in Canada and the United States. Indigenous families and communities have been advocating for generations to make changes to the colonial system that often treat the perpetrators of this violence with impunity. The REDress Project works to create space for families of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Persons (MMIP) and their supporters to tell their stories and to find solidarity in the struggle to protect the rights of Indigenous women and girls. The project provides a space to hear from frontline community workers\, Indigenous women academics\, elders and knowledge keepers on how we can work together as a community to bring justice to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) and their families.  \nFounded in 2009\, The REDress Project was first exhibited at the University of Winnipeg Campus in Winnipeg\, Manitoba\, with over one hundred dresses displayed across campus. Over the past ten years The REDress Project has travelled to over 50 locations across Canada and internationally.  \nThe REDress Project has been shown at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa\, Ontario\, at the National Museum of The American Indian in Washington\, DC and is on permanent display at The Canada Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg\, Manitoba\, Canada.  \nThis is a free virtual discussion series open to our members\, friends\, and visitors. As we continue to work on developing more programs\, please consider donating to the museum. https://gichigamiin-museum.org/donate/  \nFor more information about this program\, please contact: info@gichigamiin-museum.org | (847) 475-1030 | www.mitchellmuseum.org/events/

She is married to her best friend Joel and has two daughters Aiyanna and Ayasha that keep her plenty busy.  She teaches Preschool in Illinois where she seen the need for books that represent Native American children as people of today. She wrote this book based on her experiences as a child with her grandmother and her two daughter’s experiences with their adventurous grandmother Peggy as well. This is her story that she hopes to inspire more Native American children to dream big.  Miigwetch (thank you)! \nJoin the Evanston Ecology Center for a Critter Visit!

Stevens is currently a resident of Bayview-Milwaukee\, Wisconsin. She is an enrolled member of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin through her father and Oglala Lakota through her Mother. She was born in Alexandria\, Virginia and raised on the Oneida Nation-De Pere\, Wisconsin and received her Bachelor’s of Arts Degree in Art from St. Norbert College.

Kerstetter\, Peter B. Jones\, and Richard Zane Smith. \n3009 Building \nWe will have live music!  \nLanialoha Lee – Pacific Soundz Productions – (Native Hawaiian) \nMy continuing work as a professional performing artist in music and dance encompassed chanting\, vocal work\, instrumentation characteristic to both Western and Pacific Island cultural arts\, and production. Throughout my career\, I’ve taught thousands of `ukulele\, hula\, and Tahitian drum students\, enhancing my curriculum and cultivating a new generation of artists with a refined sensitivity to the culture bridging the Midwest to the islands through shared repertoire. As a Midwest-based Native Hawaiian\, I continue to preserve\, perpetuate\, and protect Pacific Island cultural arts. I hope an appreciation will develop and augment the cultural literacy of those less familiar with the mesmerizing rhythms of music\, dance\, and poetic text of the South Pacific islands. \nMark Jourdan is a Ho-Chunk and Oneida singer/songwriter based out of Chicago\, IL. He grew up in Chicago spending his summers and weekends traveling the Midwest and Canada going to pow-wows with his family. Music has always played a big part of his life. Driving across the country with his family made the radio and tape players as much of a part of the family as his siblings. His father took him to see B.B. King when he was 16 and that was his first experience of what it meant to “own a room”. https://www.facebook.com/musicbymarkjourdan \nAll Day – Artist Alley \nLocated outside the museum in our parking lot\, visit info booths\, Native artist booths\, and Food will be available for sale during the event. \nIndigenous Artist booths\nSunset Kwe Designs\nWe are an Indigenous women owned business creating fun and expressive apparel\, bags and accessories mixed with ribbon skirts and beadwork. https://sunset-kwe-designs.square.site/ \nChaChaBeads\nIG: chachabeads_ \nAuthor Maria Des Jarlait\nMeet the author after her story time from 10-11am in the library! \nAtika’s Medicine \nI’m Not A Costume  \nIndigenous Foods\nNative American Foods and Fox Way Catering\nFood will be available for purchase from Fox Way Catering\, including: Fry Bread\, Indian Tacos\, Veggie Tacos\, and beverages. \nInfo Booths\nCalifornia Indian Manpower Consortium\, Inc. – Chicago Branch Office\nBurton Snowboards\nThe City of Evanston has set aside $3 Million for community members to decide how to spend through a process called Participatory Budgeting.

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Discussion with Valaria Tatera
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our artist discussion about their work and who they are as artists. There will be a live Q&A at the end of each discussion.\nValaria Tatera is a Wisconsin based installation artist\, activist and lecturer whose work investigates the intersection of ethnicity\, gender\, commerce\, and the environment. Her work\, Justice Ribbons\, features 700 ribbons stamped with the text\, justice\, each representing a missing and murdered Indigenous person\, and is currently featured in the Mitchell Museum’s No Rest: The Epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women\, Girls\, and Two-Spirits exhibit.  \nAn enrolled member of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa\, Valaria explores self-identity and contemporary Indigenous issues\, such as the impact of colonization on Indigenous Erasure\, Visibility and Resilience. Her intention is “for the work to hold visual and personal space for statistics that often erase the individual”.

SUMMARY:The Urban Indian Relocation Program 60 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:Starting in 1952\, after the Urban Indian Relocation Act of 1948\, the United States Government initiated the Urban Indian Relocation Program\, designed to move Native Americans off reservations to seven major urban cities\, including Chicago. Under this policy\, the government intended to assimilate Native Americans residing on rural reservation lands into the white\, American mainstream society. From 1952 into the 1970s\, 100\,000’s Native people and their families moved to cities where they struggled to adjust to life in a metropolis and faced unemployment\, low-end jobs\, discrimination\, homesickness\, and the loss of traditional cultural support. \n\nThe urban relocation program changed the face of cities and Native American cultures\, and its effects are still with us in Cook County. During this discussion\, Menominee/Oneida elder Bernadine Vigue will share her family’s move from the Menominee Indian Reservation in Wisconsin to Chicago and Gary\, Indiana\, in 1952 under the federal relocation program. Key leaders of Chicago’s Indigenous community\, Andrew Johnson and Shelly Tucciarelli will discuss the unintended consequences that continue to impact the region today and how their work in economic development and equitable housing aims to improve the well-being of Chicago’s Native community. \n  \n\n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid in-person and virtual event.

SUMMARY:45th Anniversary Benefit & Awards Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The Mitchell Museum of the American Indian will honor U.S. Representative Sharice Davids for her significant contributions to Native American society\, culture\, and history at the 45th Anniversary Benefit and Awards Ceremony on November 19\, 2022\, at Writers Theater in Glencoe\, Illinois.\nOur premier event and annual awards ceremony is named for Dr. Carlos Montezuma\, a citizen of the Yavapai-Apache Tribe. He worked as a physician and social justice activist for Native American rights. Dr. Montezuma was the first Native American to earn an undergraduate and a medical degree from Northwestern University. In 1904 he became one of the founders of the Society for American Indians\, which focused on improving the physical\, social\, and economic well-being of Native Americans. \nU.S. Representative Sharice Davids will receive the 2022 Dr. Montezuma Award for her contributions to social activism that have advanced Native American people nationally. Rep. Davids is a Ho-Chunk Nation citizen and a member of the U.S. House\, representing Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District. In 2019\, she was sworn into the 116th Congress\, making her one of the first two Native American women to serve in Congress and the first openly LGBTQ+ representative to be elected in Kansas. She was raised by a single mother who served in the Army for 20 years. After graduating from Leavenworth High School\, she worked through Johnson County Community College and the University of Missouri-Kansas City before earning a law degree from Cornell Law School. \nAs a first-generation college student who worked the entire time she was in college\, Rep. Davids understands the importance of quality public schools and affordable higher education. That foundation allowed her to go on to a successful career focused on economic and community development\, which included time as a White House Fellow under President Barack Obama. \n45th Anniversary Silent Auction\nWe have something for everyone in our silent auction\, from art\, clothing\, and jewelry to wellness packages and museum experiences!\nBidding on all 14 items can be placed online or in person at our 45th Anniversary Benefit and Awards.\nProceeds will be used for programming and exhibits designed to accelerate the respect of Traditional Knowledge and contemporary Indigenous contributions in the Great Lakes Region. \n45th Anniversary Benefit and Awards Ceremony\nSchedule of Events \n6:00 Welcome and Check-in \n6:00-7:00 Reception\, Food\, and Musical Performances by Bill Buchholz and Michaela Marchi \nWilliam Buchholtz (Allison) is a long-time resident of the Chicago area He has been playing and recording music of many genres for over 40 years.

I grew up in Chicago spending my summers and weekends traveling the Midwest and into Canada going to pow-wows with my family.   Music has always played a big part of my life. Driving across the country with my family made the radio and tape players as much of a part of the family as my siblings.   My father took me to see B.B. King when I was 16. I had my first experience of what it means to “Own a room.”  From there I\, surprisingly\, took a break from guitar and music to try graphic art. I had hoped to become an art teacher. I had many that were quite influential.   Ultimately\, I found my way home to music. And\, I couldn’t be happier. I found a place where I can express feeling in a way that my graphic arts were\, without my realizing\, leading me to. Today\, I chase dreams. I’m catching a few too. “To infinity and beyond…” \nJennifer M. Stevens is currently a resident of Bayview-Milwaukee\, Wisconsin.  She is an enrolled member of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin through her father and Oglala Lakota through her Mother.  She was born in Alexandria\, Virginia and raised on the Oneida Nation-De Pere\, Wisconsin and received her Bachelor’s of Arts Degree in Art from St. Norbert College.   \nJennifer M. Stevens has weaved a creative life as a classical singer and visual artist.  She studied Classical Singing and Opera nationally and internationally and she studied Classical Art in college and traditional Oneida Pottery with prominent woodland Indigenous artists such as; Rose K. Kerstetter\, Peter B. Jones\, and Richard Zane Smith.    \nFurthermore\, Jennifer M. Stevens became nationally known for her contribution in cultural preservation through Oneida Pottery  revitalization\, taught Oneida Pottery for 20 years 4k-Advance level students\, and one of the few in history to become a professional Native American woman composer and classical singer.  Stevens was acknowledged in the book\, Encyclopedia of Native American Music of North America by Elaine Keillor and Timothy Archambault\, and was a featured Artist\, Singer\, and Composer on PBS-Wisconsin Public Television\, “Wisconsin Life” and the documentary\, “Owe.la’:  The Music Within Jennifer Stevens.”  Stevens is a Singer\, Composer\, Artist\, Researcher\, and Educator\, and her life philosophy is “Community Building Through the Arts.”  \n8:45 Closing Remarks \nMini Indian Tacos (V)\nA classic family recipe of hot\, crispy\, and perfectly seasoned fry bread served with all the fixings.

SUMMARY:Global Indigenous Perspectives: From Turtle Island to Sápmi
DESCRIPTION:Join the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian\, Swedish American Museum\, Nordic House Chicago\, and the Chicago Cultural Alliance for a panel discussion with Kurt Seaberg\, a Sámi-American artist\, and a North American Indigenous person. Moderated by the Mitchell Museum’s Josee Starr (Arikara\, Omaha\, Odawa)\, the discussion will explore similarities and differences between the two panelist’s cultures and reflect on their individual experiences followed by a Q&A with the audience.   \nThe panel discussion will take place at the Nordic House Chicago. Attendees to this in-person program will also get to enjoy light refreshments as well as visit the Nordic House’s current exhibit\, Sámi Dreams\, a photography exhibit displaying portraits of Sámi people and their oral histories. The photographer\, Randall Hyman\, will be invited to participate in the panel as well and share his experience in capturing the photographs.  \n \n\n\n\nKurt Seaberg is a Sami-American artist currently residing in Minnesota. He was born in Chicago\, IL\, and studied intaglio and lithography at the University of Minnesota. He has been a working member of Highpoint Center for Printmaking since 2003. Seaberg has dedicated much of his time and creative energy to lithography. He believes one of the tasks of an artist is to remind us where our strength and power lies – in beauty\, community\, and sense of place. Nature has always been a theme and source of inspiration in his work and the particular spiritual qualities he finds there. Seaberg uses his art to connect with his Sami heritage and his father\, who was an artist as well.  https://www.kurtseaberg.com/  \n  \nRandall Hyman is a photographer and journalist who has covered the environment\, culture\, and science worldwide for over 40 years. His photo essays and articles have been featured in many magazines including Smithsonian\, National Geographic Traveler\, and Scandinavian Review. In 2013\, Hyman spent four months travelling the northern coast of Norway as a Fulbright Scholar. In 2015\, as an Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellow\, he was drawn to the impact of climate change on Norway’s human population\, especially its indigenous Sami. Determined to tell their story\, Hyman spent a month travelling across Finnmark in 2018 photographing and speaking with a wide range of Sami individuals\, from herdsmen to artists to politicians. https://www.randallhyman.com/  \n\n\n\n\n\n \nFor more information about this program\, please contact: info@gichigamiin-museum.org | (847) 475-1030 | www.mitchellmuseum.org
