SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening Reception for Momim Wene | Medicine Water
DESCRIPTION:The Maidu Museum & Historic Site (MMHS) is thrilled to announce the opening of Momím Wené | Medicine Water: Flowing Throughout California Indian Country a contemporary art exhibition featuring 29 regional Native American artists. The exhibition will open with a reception on Saturday\, April 12 from 5:00 – 7:00pm; admission is free. \nMomím Wené | Medicine Water explores the complex relationship between essential waterways and Tribal communities\, and how time and colonization have led to diverse histories throughout California Indian Country. According to the exhibition’s curator\, Meyo Marrufo (Eastern Pomo)\, “Some Tribes have continuous\, strong connections with their waterways\, while others are flowing back to the river and regaining the genetic memory of who we are as Water People.  As we explore these relationships in our art\, we tell the story of regaining\, re-identifying and remaking our water traditions… our Momím Wené: Medicine Water.” \nThis dynamic exhibition was organized by the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians’ Cultural Resources Division and includes over 40 artworks in a variety of media\, including painting\, photographs\, prints\, drawings\, basketry\, stonework\, beadwork\, and jewelry. Many of the original artworks are for sale and proceeds support both the artists and the museum. In addition\, visitors may take home a small collectible print from custom art card vending machines located on the first floor of the museum for only $1! \nParticipating artists: Tiffany Adams\, Carson Bates\, Gemma Benton\, Jacky Calanchini\, Billyhawk Enos\, Koppa Enos\, Delana Galvan\, Jeannette Innerarity\, Skye Innerarity\, Siranika Johnson\, Jaime Lanouette\, Kai LaPena\, Sage LaPena\, Vince LaPena\, Raymond LeBeau\, Viola LeBeau\, Meyo Marrufo\, Melissa Melero-Moose\, Shanti Parks\, Jeremy Peconom\, Jessica Proctor\, Petee Ramirez\, Lyn Risling\, Steven Saffold\, Victorio Shaw\, Kat Solares\, Deerstine Suehead\, Malissa Tayaba\, and Jacinda Tayaba-Cordero.

SUMMARY:We’éqlapish: Live Poetry of Indigenous Women
DESCRIPTION:Subversive Verses\, a collective of California Native women centering the dynamic voices of our community and celebrating the strength of Indigenous emotion through art\, music\, and poetry. \nRSVP at https://tinyurl.com/m2y25ahk \nIn Payómkawichum\, We’éqlapish is a complex word\, but roughly translates to an act of disputing/disagreeing with something. When using it\, you’re letting it be known you don’t agree with someone’s words or actions against you. It’s pretty open-ended\, and can be applied to so many instances: A government that wants to eradicate us\, an ex who doesn’t respect us\, etc. It’s relevant to the energy we are bringing to this event\, actively using our words/poetry to stand up for ourselves. In short; We aren’t gonna go down that easy.)
