SUMMARY:We the Native People
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Isle a la Cache to meet Illinois Humanities Road Scholar Kim Sigafus\, an award-winning Ojibwa author and speaker. Her family is from White Earth Reservation in Minnesota. In this presentation\, she will discuss what was happening in the country regarding Native Americans at the time the Declaration of Independence was signed. She will discuss how the signing of that document affected the Native people and whether it mentioned them. She will also discuss how the government and its people viewed Native Americans and the consequences of those views. Sigafus will emphasize the impact the document had on the lives of the Native people and what ultimately was lost and how those fundamental differences between the government and the Native people ultimately led to conflicts. She will also explain how Native people viewed their land and why the ultimate loss of it negatively impacted them. Sigafus will discuss how they once lived\, worked the land\, and raised their children and explain what was lost of their culture as western expansion moved forward.Sigafus will lead the audience into the lives of the Native people through a traditional story and song. The audience will have the chance to learn music\, drum\, sing and play other Native American instruments. Traditional native foods will also be discussed\, and a recipe will be handed out. This presentation will end with a Q&A with the audience.This presentation aligns with the Illinois America 250 Commission’s theme We the People. This theme invites us to explore ideas of who has been included and who has been left out of the nations promise\, as well as how people from all backgrounds have shaped and reshaped what it means to be part of the people. The Illinois America 250 Commission’s goals are to uplift local stories\, places\, and programs; build pride; and showcase how Illinois brings the ideals of the Declaration of Independence to life. Admission is free. Registration required by Thursday\, March 12: 815-722-9301. https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/9996?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true\n

SUMMARY:Think & Drink: 50 Years of Preservation: Plan\, Purpose & Prosperity
DESCRIPTION:As our 50 Years to Overnight Success exhibit enters its final weeks on display\, we’re giving the spotlight to the artist and architect who helped bring it to life.\nAt our next Think & Drink\, join Bob Morris for a special behind-the-scenes look at the exhibit and the preservation movement it celebrates. Morris will share how the project came together\, how he approached recreating every building in downtown Lockport through his detailed pen-and-ink drawings\, and why this story matters. But this evening is about more than the exhibit. Over the course of his career\, Morris has personally overseen the restoration and revitalization of many of Lockport’s historic buildings. These are projects that helped shape the downtown we know today. This program is both a reflection on fifty years of preservation and a look at the life and work of someone who has played a direct role in that story.\nIf you’ve enjoyed the exhibit—or haven’t yet had a chance to see it—this is the perfect opportunity to celebrate it before it comes down one week later. \nThis is a free event. Registration is not required but appreciated to gauge attendance:\n REGISTER HERE \nBonus! Enjoy a Public Landing Restaurant discount when you register! Details below.\n
