Beadwork & Dream Catcher Making: Celebrating Native American History Month

Celebrate Native American History Month with the UMA Student Life Office through a creative, hands-on exploration of Indigenous art, storytelling, and cultural traditions!

Join us for an opportunity to learn about the history and cultural significance of Indigenous beadwork and the dream catcher, an art form traditionally associated with the Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) people.

Participants will have the opportunity to create their own beaded jewelry and decorative dream catchers while learning about the Ojibwe origin story traditionally associated with the dream catcher and its connection to protection, family, and cultural storytelling.

Through these creative activities, students will explore the importance of artistic expression, storytelling, and the preservation of Indigenous cultural traditions while recognizing the diversity of Native American communities and their contributions.

Come get creative, connect with fellow students, and celebrate Native American History Month through art, history, and storytelling.
