Acrylic paint, metal leaf, plexiglass, leather and vintage Flying Dutchman tobacco tin cans. Ships May 1st

As preserved by Mille Lacs Band elders of Ojibwe, the jingle dress and dance trace their origins to the story of a man whose daughter fell gravely ill. Seeking guidance, he fasted for four days, praying for a vision that would reveal a cure. In his dream, he saw a dress adorned with metal cones and heard the sound they created. He understood that this sound held healing power. When his vision was brought to life by the women in his community, the dance became an act of restoration—healing the young girl and strengthening the spiritual and communal bonds of those who took part. (Ojibwe members told the story at The 2024 Folklife Festival in Washington, DC).
