For Bad River Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe Tribal Member April Stone, sustainably harvesting black ash is crucial to both her artistry and her livelihood—now, you can hear her speak on black ash crafting at Madeline Island Museum. During a special appearance, Stone will share her insights on Ojibwe artistry, the battle to responsibly pursue black ash craftsmanship despite threats from invasive species and climate change, and a larger message of healing Mother Earth in order to continue connecting with communities in the Lake Superior region. Stone will also lead a black ash weaving demonstration. In addition to the talk, Stone’s work, including a traditional black ash casket, will be on display at Madeline Island Museum from July 4 to August 3. Don’t miss this opportunity to also explore the one-of-a-kind temporary exhibit, Passages, which tells the story of the Ojibwe migration to the place where food grows on the water.
