Thanksgiving brings with it colonialist interpretations of our nation’s history, which often recast the relationship between Native Americans and colonists as more amicable than facts bear out. While work remains to be done on a national level to actually repair the damage done, one way to celebrate our Native communities is learning about cultural crafts such as fingerweaving. Citizen of the Cherokee nation and TERO certified fingerweaver Doug Martin kindly lends his tutelage in classes designed to give you the basics on this loomless weaving art. Attendees will take home a keychain or lanyard pin of their own making, but sign up quick! Spots are limited. – James Scott
