LAURA WONG-WHITEBEAR (Colville Sinixt) Basketry
has
always been committed to preserving the artistic traditions of her community while bringing a business perspective to improve the economic conditions of her people. Currently based in Weyauwega, Wis., she is a beadwork artist with a mission to keep her culture alive. As children, she and her sisters learned
the art of traditional beadwork from their mother. Now that she is a mother herself, she is continuing the tradition by passing the teachings on to her children. Her dream is to help her community in Ecuador by providing a venue to expand the beadwork market.
DARRICK TSOSIE (Jemez Pueblo)
Darrick Tsosie is a potter from the Pueblo of Jemez in New Mexico. He learned his art as a child, working with clay alongside his parents. He uses clay and paints gathered from the areas surrounding the Jemez Pueblo reserva- tion to make hand-coiled storytellers. While he makes traditional pottery storytellers, his specialty is cat and dog storytellers, as well as other animal fi gurines. “Native artists are us- ing contemporary methods to narrate events, traditions, day to day life, occurring in our communities, which is what our ancestors did but with traditional methods.” His animal storytellers are a perfect example of the incor- poration of new elements into old traditions. .......................
The Native Art Market will be held on Satur- day Dec. 5 and Sunday, Dec. 6 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily. Admission is free. X
Lisa M. Austin is a Public Affairs Assistant for the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.
