It’s been a busy month here in Oxford for our Myaamia Heritage Program. Recently, a group of students participated in a ribbon skirt-making workshop, led by Karen Baldwin. Students spent the day learning to prepare, cut, measure, and sew their own ribbon skirts. The Myaamia Center also hosted our annual waffle breakfast at the Myaamia Center, to enjoy the iihkisaminki ‘maple syrup’ collected and processed on campus by Myaamia Heritage students and our staff.
As the semester begins to wind down, our students are turning their focus to finals and preparing for the Miami Tribe’s summer educational programs. Our senior students are wrapping up their Myaamia Heritage Program senior projects and preparing for Commencement on May 13-14, 2023.
