On July 1–3, Bear Paw Keepsakes gives a nod to the best of local
native art while celebrating the diversity of native tribes. The
Woodland Indian Art Show and Market (WIASM), splices
generations from a variety of tribes to showcase both contemporary
and traditional styles and techniques.
“This is different from Southwest art shows people are used to,” says
Loretta Webster, coordinator for the WIASM. “It was started in order
to focus on the woodland art, which is more a part of Northern U.S.,
Canadian and Alaskan Indian culture.”
A nonprofit organization sponsored by the Oneida Nation Arts
Program, the Oneida Tribe and the Wisconsin Arts Board, the
volunteer-run, juried art show is in its fourth year.
Most participating artists are from the Midwest and many – like
watercolorist Dawn Darkmountain – are from the Oneida tribe. “Since
I am Oneida, my work is inspired by the Oneida/Iroquois culture,”
says Darkmountain, who has participated in the show since its
inception. “It is especially meaningful to me to be able to exhibit my
work in Oneida during our largest cultural festival of the year.”
The show is broken down into three categories: 2-dimensional art, 3-
dimensional art and functional items. The categories are then split into
traditional and contemporary. In addition to the prizes awarded by the
jury, attendees also vote for the Community Choice Award winner.
The majority of the art is inspired by traditional floral motifs and
depictions of stories of woodland tribes, as well as beadwork and
wampun belts and beads, which are unique to Iroquois tribe.
“Some of the best work from Indian artists is going to be here,”
Webster says. “It’s a great opportunity if you’re interested in Indian
art. It’s small but you can visit and talk with a variety of artists.”
The WIASM takes place at the Norbert Hill Center the same
weekend as the Oneida Pow-wow, a popular event that draws nearly
5,000 people.
According to Webster, what keeps the show growing is the artists
themselves. Over the last four years, patrons have come back to collect
their favorite artists’ pieces, and will surely continue to do so.
