With Misty Cook and Karen Ann Hoffman

Sponsored in part by the Optimist Club of Mt. Horeb and Mount Horeb Utilities. 

Spend an afternoon learning about Stockbridge-Munsee traditional medicines with Misty Cook, and immerse yourself in Haudenosaunee Stories with Karen Ann Hoffman. 

Misty Cook, M. S. of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community works with plant medicines, a skill she learned from her elders. As the Tribe’s current expert on plant medicines, Misty continues to pass on traditional knowledge by teaching, giving presentations, and through her book Medicine Generations.

Karen Ann Hoffman, Oneida Nation of WI, has been beading peace, beauty, and meaning through her Haudenosaunee Raised Beadwork since the 1990s. Haudenosaunee Raised Beadwork (also known as Iroquois Raised Beadwork) is unique to the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, characterized by lines of beads that arch above the textile surface for a three-dimensional effect, typically sewn onto velvet. Hoffman is a respected national leader in this art, known for reimagining existing forms to expand their significance for today and the future.

With Veronica Hinke 

Delve into letters that first class Titanic passengers wrote to loved ones at home, describing the elaborate lunch feasts and other delicacies. Study the distinctly different menus from first, second and third class. How were they different? What items are still enjoyed today, and what items raise eyebrows today? The foods passengers and crew members ate are glimpses into the past. They are footnotes in history that provide insight into how people lived and experienced life during a distinct period in time known as the Edwardian era. Hear stories of Wisconsin ties to Titanic, including third class passenger Dan “Popcorn Dan” Coxon and more. Throughout the presentation, nibble on seasonal foods that Titanic passengers ate, including the assorted cheeses that were offered on the first-class luncheon buffet each day. Recipes will be provided. Books will be available for purchase. 

Food: 

• ·Cheese board- assortment from the first-class lunch menu each day
• ·Plum Pudding- last third-class main meal at noon on April 14
• ·Specialty Teas and accompaniments
