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.
