Patsy Day
One Indigenous Woman and the Arts
Indigenous women have a profound history as the keepers and communicators of cultural heritage through art.
Elder Patsy Day will share her stories of blending traditional artistic practices with community resilience, demonstrating how these skills have been passed down through generations to preserve identity, sustain livelihoods, and embody cultural teachings.
Her intricate beadwork serves as a tangible link to this enduring legacy and will be on display. Patsy’s extensive experience teaching in area schools invites discussion about the broader connections between art and cultural wisdom. Audience questions about other aspects of Indigenous arts will be warmly encouraged.
