SUMMARY:Young Learners' Series: Native American Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a short informational presentation on the art of Native American jewelry making past and present. After the presentation\, students will have the opportunity to create their own beaded jewelry to take home or share as part of our youth education exhibit. The program is free. \nJewelry is an important form of art and culture for many Native American tribes. In the past & today\, jewelry making is passed down as a cultural practice and is used for adornment and individual & familial identification. Historically\, jewelry was made of natural materials such as shells & nuts\, which were carved into beads. As trading with Europeans increased\, beading became more popular. \nNative Americans designed their beaded jewelry to reflect their stories. Today art jewelry is made from metals\, seeds\, nuts\, stone & fish bone as well as synthetic beads. It is shared from teacher to student within families & groups to preserve artistic & cultural practice or worn in cultural identification & celebration.

SUMMARY:Young Learners' Series: Native American Finger Weaving
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a program and activity about Native American Finger Weaving\, a traditional artform in many Native American and Indigenous nations.\nIn the Cherokee tradition\, finger woven regalia was historically used for men.

SUMMARY:Young Learners' Series: Creek Warrior William Weatherford
DESCRIPTION:In this month’s Young Learners Series\, the program & activity will be about Creek Warrior William Weatherford. Also known as Hoponika Fulsahi (Truth Maker)\, Weatherford was a member of the Wind Clan from the town of Coosada\, an Alabama town in the Creek Confederacy. Born into a prominent Creek lineage on his mother’s side\, he was raised in a bicultural family of French & Scottish ancestry. He spoke both his native language & English.

He rebuilt his wealth as a slave-holding planter and horse breeder & racer\, in Monroe\, after the war.\nThe YLS helps students explore early Shoals history through short lessons & hands-on learning exercises. The programs focus on 12 Native American figures through their biographies\, contributions\, hopes & accomplishments.\nThis program is free and sponsored by the City of Florence Department of Arts and Museums & MSNHA.
