Indigenous Art Show is July 28

Bella Nayquonabe, Glen Edward Shivers, and Lamya Morrison are among the students making regalia this summer.

Students participating in the Onamia Schools' Indigenous Arts & Culture Camps this summer will be holding a free Art Show and Dinner on Wednesday, July 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Rolf Olsen Center, 807 Main St. W., Onamia.

One of the primary things on display will be child-sized regalia made by older youth. This regalia will eventually be part of a lending project whereby young children who do not have their own regalia will be able to borrow what students have made. Students will also display other Indigenous arts projects, including beading, paintings, buttons, weaving, and more. Dinner will include Dawn Day's Fry Bread Tacos. There's no need to RSVP — you can just show up! For more details, contact the Onamia Schools' 21st Century Community Learning Centers program at 320-532-6829.

The Onamia Schools' regalia-lending project is being fund- ed, in part, by the East Central Regional Arts Council, thanks to the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the State's general fund.
