Star Quilt Making Workshop with Angela ThunderHawk Angela ThunderHawk is a member of the Gun Lake Band of Pottawatomi. She is a longtime community activist and member of the American Indian Movement. Angela has been quilting since the age of 8 or 9, having learned from her grandmother and other Tribal community elders. Her daily quilting results in approximately 100 star blanket quilts each year. She is well-known for her quilts and even made one for President Barak Obama. Angela held a workshop here at Ziibiwing from February 26 to March 1, 2019. The first evening was cancelled due to the inclement weather near her home that has caused various delays here in Michigan this winter. A second class was scheduled for March 4-8, 2019 due to the immense response that filled the first class within minutes of its being announced! The class provided all the materials to create a baby-sized star quilt. Angela provided the instructions for the quilt and included personal stories and cultural teachings, as well, including the history of the star quilt and its connection to the heavenly stars! Miigwetch to Angela for sharing her cultural knowledge and quilting skills with us. Miigwetch to those who attended the class and continue to support the Ziibiwing Center in fulfilling its mission statement. For more photos visit Ziibiwing’s Facebook page.
