Ho Chunk Traditional Arts
Black River Falls, WI
Elena
is an excellent artist in many traditional Woodland Indian art forms: beadwork
on jewelry, moccasins and apparel; quillwork on bags, pouches, and jewelry;
leatherwork for moccasins, purses, pouches and dance regalia; appliqué on
women’s dresses and bags; and black ash basketry. Elena’s programs begin with an
introduction of the craft’s origin, meaning and symbolism and continue with a
discussion of the steps required in its creation.
