WILMA (KAWENNARONNION) COOK ZUMPANO
AWKWESASNE MOHAWK, WOLF CLAN wilsdolls@gmail.com P.O. Box 157 Washington Mill, NY
| 6
I thoroughly enjoy working with beautiful beads, and sharing my native
experiences with others. I have worked with beads on and off since I was a
teenager. I learned because I wanted to adorn my native dress that I wore
when I belonged to a traditional native dance troop from Akwesasne in
the 1960’s. It was at a time too, that I really began to sew and take that task
more seriously so, quite naturally, the two activities have crossed again and
filled my world with beautiful keepsakes.
I get inspired by the spirit and natural world. I enjoy floral designs, much
like my ancestors did. I like to incorporate the natural elements such as
porcupine quills, leather, bone, sinew, silver, stones, wood, cotton, and
velvet in my work. The most inspiring are the items that I view from our
past, so, to recreate them with a contemporary flair is limitless.
I have taught, assisted, and supported beading classes with and without
others. I volunteered to help native displaced women who temporarily
relocate to this area and we get together to bead. This pastime leads to
reminders of traditional and historical elements which I enjoy sharing with
everyone.
I have visited many local schools, historical societies and libraries in the
area to do storytelling, beading, cornhusk doll making, dreamcatchers and
talking about our histories.

ONEIDA NATION IN WISCONSIN www.turtleclanart.com turtleclanart@gmail.com 262.370.8657
I am a contemporary full-time sculptor
and member of the Oneida Nation. My
artistic goal is to share my mother’s Native
American culture, stories, and love of nature
symbolically through art. Since childhood,
making sculptures in a variety of materials has
always given me joy and an inner peace. In
1998, after being involved in Native American
education at an administrative level for many
years in Milwaukee, I decided to dedicate my
life to creating art, while continuing to be an
advocate of education and Native awareness
through my sculptures and interactive
storytelling. I work in copper to honor the
ancient copper culture that once lived here in
Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.

PETER B. JONES
ONONDAGA, CATTARAUGUS INDIAN RESERVATION, NY
pbjones.art@gmail.com
Pete Jones has visited the Oneida Reservation in
Wisconsin a number of times as a pottery instructor.
He has been involved in dozens of exhibitions in his
creative professional career. His work can be found
in major Museums such as the Heard, Institute of
American Indian Arts, Iroquois Indian Museum, and
Museum of Anthropology in Germany. His work is
pictured in many art journals and news articles.
Jones has been stalking the mysteries of the Iroquois
ceramic tradition for about 30 years. He says “We try
to figure out what tools they used, but it’s not always
easy.” As all the Iroquois potters have found, the longago
Iroquois artisans left no instruction manuals,
and their type of work abruptly ended in 1700 when
brass and copper vessels became available from
European traders.

PATRICK KRUSE
RED CLIFF BAND of LAKE SUPERIOR OJIBWE patkruse@hotmail.com 320.364.3213
All my life I have been fascinated by American
Indian arts and crafts, specifically those made by
Ojibwe artist.
I currently make birch bark mirrors, picture frames,
baskets, miniature canoes and wigwams, wall
plaques, hats and picturescapes that tell a story,
using different parts of the birch tree and using a
variety of old growth and new growth as well as
inner and outer bark. I have a great respect for
birch bark and nature, which is a prevalent theme
in my art. Everything I make is first harvested by
myself or other members of my family. The bark
is peeled and prepared so that is does not crack
or break. Besides birch bark I also use sinew, birch
wood, pine wood, recycled wood, red willow,
grape vine, and any other materials that inspire me.

Woodland Indian Art, Inc. partnered
with artist Josy Thomas to host a traditional
birch bark canoe construction
and demonstration project.
The intent of the canoe project is to
provide cultural and art learning opportunities
for the Oneida community,
surrounding other tribal communities
and the general public.
The project officially began on
Thursday, May 10, 2018 with an Edge of
the Woods Ceremony. Josy and his
apprentices worked throughout the
month of May 2018 to build the canoe.
Completion of the canoe
with decorative external
bark carvings will take place
as a demonstration during
the Woodland Indian Art
Show & Market.
