SUMMARY:The Quilt — Owíŋza Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Quilt – Owíŋža exhibit features quilts from 1893 to contemporary that are in the Aktá Lakota Museum’s private collection. \nThese quilts are a testament to the powerful tradition\, aesthetic\, artisanship\, and resiliency of the Lakota culture. When the buffalo was at the center of Lakota life\, beautifully decorated hides\, often with striking circular patterns\, were common. As colonialism brought about the near-extinction of the buffalo\, the Lakota turned to quilt-making to replace many of the functions — both utilitarian and ceremonial — that hides performed. \nThe star quilt held special appeal because of its circular pattern and rhythmic repetition. “Everything the power of the world does is done in a circle\,” said Lakota spiritual leader Black Elk\, expressing the centrality of the circle to Lakota thought. Today the star quilt is often the centerpiece in Lakota celebrations and ceremonies.  The exhibit will be on display through the end of the year. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Story Time with Uŋčí & LaláThe Great Race
DESCRIPTION:Today our story is The Great Race of the Birds and Animals written and illustrated by Paul Goble. \nAbout the story:  Long ago\, when the world was still quite new\, buffaloes used to eat people. It is true? The hair on their chins is hair of the people they use to eat…It is Terrible to think about those times. . . \nBut the Creator saw the people’s distress and decreed that a contest be held between all the two-legged and four-legged creatures. Who would win\, thundering Buffalo or fleet-footed Man? None of the other animals was fast enough\, and before the end\, Beaver and Muskrat slipped off into a cool stream\, Jack-rabbit hopped off across the plain\, and Mole and Gopher tunneled underground (and may still think the race is on). \nThe winner was decided long ago\, in Sioux and Cheyenne legend. Buffalo — who lost — agreed to give up eating men for dinner\, and thanks to the cunning of a single magpie\, Man became the guardian of the natural world. \nStory Time with Uŋči & Lalá is a free public program that brings American Indian history to life through books read by elders from the local community.  The program is free to the public and geared toward elementary-age children\, but children young and old are welcome.  Each week features a different story\, and children are invited to participate in a take-home art project or activity following the reading of the story. \nChildren must be accompanied by an adult.Registration is recommended for large groups.Service pets welcome.For more information call 800.798.3452 or email aktalakota@stjo.org
