Girlhood Artist Workshop: Brook LaFloe

About This Event

Join us for a beaded fringe earring workshop led by mother-daughter duo Janice Asinikwe LaFloe and Brook LaFloe from the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, ND. Janice Asinikwe LaFloe is the founder of the Montessori American Indian Childcare Center. She and her daughter Brook co-founded Niniijanis (One of Ones). Brook LaFloe is an artist, Indigenous educator, entrepreneur, and is featured in the Minnesota (where girls shoot hoops) section of the Girlhood (It’s complicated) exhibit for her work and accomplishments supporting the Twin Cities Native Community through her work in Montessori education and coaching basketball.

This is a beginners level beadwork class geared towards youth ages 10+ and will include light refreshments and a community conversation related to Indigenous girlhood.

Explore the exhibit and learn more about identity and indigenous girlhood through beadwork. Free Minnesota History Center admission and parking is available every Thursday from 4-8pm. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please contact engagement@mnhs.org.
