SUMMARY:For the Love of Turquoise with Carrie Cannon
DESCRIPTION:Turquoise has a long standing tradition amongst Native cultures of the Southwest\, holding special significance and profound meanings to specific individual tribes. Even before the more contemporary tradition of combining silver with turquoise\, cultures throughout the southwest used turquoise in necklaces\, earrings\, mosaics\, fetishes\, medicine pouches\, and made bracelets of basketry stems lacquered with piñon resin and inlaid turquoise. Found on six continents across the world\, turquoise forms in arid regions through the process of water seeping through rock and interacting with copper\, aluminum\, and iron deposits. In the southwest\, used decoratively for millennia\, this iconic art form has a compelling story all its own. This talk explores a long tradition of distinctive cultural styles\, history\, and transition of this wondrous stone. \nThis program is being co-hosted by Buckeye Public Library. REGISTER HERE. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nCarrie Cannon is a member of the Kiowa tribe of Oklahoma and is also of Oglala Lakota descent.
