Learn how to make your own native American flute and then with expert tuition learn to play it, join an exclusive workshop given by Crow Master Artist, Kevin Red Star and work alongside his ultra talented daughter, Sunny Sky. Learn the art of beading on hide from the region’s premier bead workers.
You will spend evenings in the company of traditional native people who will tell you about their ethno-botany, traditional foods and healing plants and herbs. Watch a powwow dance performance, and learn about Native American Fine Art in a presentation with historical and contemporary reference.
Of course for your comfort we won’t be going totally authentic – you’ll stay at one of the region’s best hotels - the Holiday Inn of Sheridan, WY (Sheridan won True West's Best Town in the West in America this year) where all classes will be held until the last day, when we go to the Northern Cheyenne reservation. Your bead-working class will be offered at the Chief Dull Knife College on the reservation. We hope you remember to pack a big ol' warm coat because next we’re going for an evening sleigh ride on the reservation with as much hot chocolate or cider as you can drink served from the fire at the lodge. Unforgettable!
On the last morning, exhibit your week’s labors over coffee and nibbles as we say farewell.
