Cultural Lifeways Workshops

Until we get formal classes going, tribal members are meeting twice a month for an informal "Makers Circle" where we teach one another things like beadwork and sewing.

The group meets at the Adawe Tribal Cultural Center and Museum, 26th N Main St in Miami, Oklahoma. A Zoom link will be emailed to you if you wish to join remotely. Register here.

Workshops offered periodically throughout each year will include but not necessarily be limited to:

  • Want to make your own regalia but haven’t touched a sewing machine in years? Completely new to sewing?Join this class for a basic course in running a sewing machine, using patterns, and understanding terminology.

  • Learn the basics of making a ribbon skirt or shirt and the importance of these items to our culture.

  • Go beyond the basics of making a ribbon skirt or shirt and learn how to add things like pockets and applique work.

  • You can’t have too many shawls. Join to learn how to make your own.

  • Learn the basics of applique beadwork in the woodlands Indians style.

  • Learn how to make basic pucker-toe moccasins.
