Delina is a textile and mixed media artist, combining beads and fabric in the traditional woodland style of design. Delina is a 2010 Bush Artist Fellow.The show brings to life an era when apparel changed dramatically for Native people in the Great Lakes region. Project director and designer Delina White will host the program while providing a narration with projected photographs to illuminate the history of the Ojibwe woman's traditional skirt. Historically, such skirts were worn particularly for special gatherings such as pow-wows and ceremonies. This program exhibits the vitality of Native clothing design and reinforces cultural identity through the re-emergence of the Native woman's skirt as a viable and contemporary vestment. Attention to an authentic, individual tribal interpretation will provide scope and added dimension to the understanding of present-day Native material culture.en-USPostersUniversity of Minnesota DuluthTweed Museum of ArtCulture showsGreat Lakes Woodland Skirts Fashion Show (2015-10-30)Other
