Stephanie Craig discussion on “Fear & Belonging”
Creswell Public Library present an evening discussion with Stephanie Craig, a Kalapuya woman on traditions, the loss of those traditions, and reclaiming or continuing them. What is more terrifying than watching cultural traditions move from the active world to a museum? And do cultural artifacts belong in museums, and if so, which museums do they belong to? Stephanie is an expert on Kalapuya weaving who makes replica baskets for museums and works to pass her knowledge on.
