National Museum of the American Indian – Earth Day: Native Blooms

Learn about flowering plants indigenous to the Americas at the National Museum of the American Indian, and meet Native artists who use florals in their artwork. Drawing inspiration from her Tlingit cultural traditions such as weaving and formline designs, Jennifer Younger crafts each of her jewelry pieces to be one-of-a-kind. Neebinnaukzhik Southall (Chippewas of Rama First Nation) is committed to representing and empowering Indigenous peoples through her artwork, which features Anishinaabe floral designs. Activities include sketching flowers, decorating a pot, and planting a sunflower.
