Dunn Museum cradle inspires Native artists with new display
Traditional native artists Pat Kruse and Terri Hom visited the Dunn Museum in Libertyville 16 months ago to research a birch bark cradle in the museum’s collections. The duo focused their research on 19th and early 20th century artifacts with cultural ties to their heritage and use of bead work, quill work and birch bark. Since their visit, the artists have been working on their own birch bark and quill work cradles, and bonnets, inspired by the historic birch bark cradle in the Dunn Museum’s collections. Their project, titled “Celebration of Life,” was recently completed and is on exhibit at the Dunn Museum through April 16, 2020. Kruse and Hom’s work, utilizing traditional Native materials, is displayed next to the Dunn Museum’s cradle made primarily with birch bark and porcupine quills. “This is a rare opportunity to see the Museum’s cradle on exhibit and paired with the work of present-day contemporary Native American artists,” said Dunn Museum Curator Diana Dretske. “This also shows how objects can inspire traditions to continue through time,” she said. After their inspiring visit to the Dunn Museum, the artists proceeded with their collaboration on the birch bark quill art project. Kruse constructed a cradle using birch bark, sweet grass, red willow, birch wood and sinew. Kruse, originally from California, lives on the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwa Reservation
in northern Minnesota. He is a member at Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Red Cliff, Wisconsin. He has spent his life maintaining traditional Ojibwa basketry and teaching workshops. A birch barker for more than 30 years, he is influenced by his mother and comes from a family of birch barkers. Kruse was one of eight accomplished artists awarded the 2018 Native Arts and Cultures Foundation Mentor Artist Fellowship. In July 2018, he began his yearlong mentorship with apprentice, Terri Hom, to create birch bark quill art. The mentorship includes a collaboration of a mentor and apprentice art project to promote Native arts and cultural revitalization, and to preserve traditional art. Hom researched traditional Ojibwa floral patterns and quilled the cradle for the project. Ojibwa people believe children are sacred gifts from the Creator, to be protected, cherished, loved, and cared for. “Our project on display at the Dunn Museum is a celebration of the past, present and future of our children and grandchildren,” Hom said. Hom was born in Minnesota and now lives on the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa reservation in northern Wisconsin. She is a member of Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians.

Volunteers needed for Birds in my Neighborhood® program
Birds in my Neighborhood®, a volunteer-driven program for grades 2 through 5, seeks adult volunteers to help students see nature in their community through the observation of birds. Volunteers help run the program by working with teachers to schedule and conduct two classroom visits and a field trip to a local nature area. New volunteers must attend trainings to prepare for each part of the program. Volunteers can become involved at one of two different levels: • Volunteer Instructors commit 15—20 hours per season starting with three mandatory training sessions. They then work with teachers to set the schedule and conduct two classroom/school visits and a field trip. Volunteer Instructors work in teams of two. • Field Trip Support Volunteers commit 5—10 hours per season starting with a mandatory Field Trip training session. They attend at least one field trip to support the Volunteer Instructors by chaperoning students and helping them find and identify birds. Spring 2020 Training Schedule: • Wednesday, January 15, 9:30 am—12:00 pm: Overview and Classroom Lesson
