| | Panel explains pivotal role of birchbark canoes in connecting cultures |
The American Craft Council is hosting a free online panel discussion Thursday exploring the historical and cultural importance traditional watercraft. “Woven Through Water: How Boatbuilding Connects Communities and Cultures” looks at the contributions of Native people in transporting goods and fueling America’s early economy.
“For some Americans, there's a fear of white erasure, there's pushback against anything diverse. And this is pretty obvious. But for a lot of other Americans, there's a desire to get along and when you actually enter a conversation about what would diversity, equity and inclusion look like, it also becomes pretty obvious that Native voices have often been highly marginalized.” | |
