Come learn from Native artist Glenda McKay (Cook Inlet Region-Athabascan) about her craft of making traditional cultural items using indigenous materials. This is part of the Eiteljorg Artist-in-Residence Worskhop series, in partnership with the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art.
Glenda uses indigenous materials such as ivory, whalebone, feathers, beaver, moose, caribou, deer, walrus and sealskin, adorned with intricate sewing, beading and ivory carving.
The longest continuously-operating branch in the IndyPL system began on the city’s east side in 1896 but moved to the village of Haughville after 1897. The branch’s many homes included the former town hall on Germania Avenue in which a fire in 1904 partially destroyed the building. After the fire, a storefront in the Michigan Plaza Shopping Center was constructed that operated until 2003, when the current 12,000-square-foot library opened on West Michigan Street.
