SUMMARY:Unraveling the Ribbon: A Film by Gwen Briesemeister
DESCRIPTION:Join the Fowlerville District Library for a screening of Unraveling the Ribbon. The short documentary (20 mins.)\, explores the deep cultural\, spiritual\, and political meaning of the Native American ribbon skirt. Worn with pride\, each skirt tells a personal and collective story of resilience\, identity\, and ancestral connection. Once forced underground\, the ribbon skirt reemerged after the 1978 Religious Freedom Act\, becoming a powerful symbol of Indigenous survival and sovereignty. Women across generations share how the skirts are part of ceremony\, personal healing\, political resistance\, and creative expression. \nEvent includes a reading of Stitches of Tradition\, the beautiful picture book by Native American author\, Marcie Rendon. Synopsis: The story follows an Ojibwe grandmother (nookomis) who sews beautiful handmade ribbon skirts for her granddaughter to wear during ceremonies and milestone moments in life. It highlights family love\, resilience\, and the cultural significance of ribbon skirts in Ojibwe traditions. \nCopies of the book will be given away to participants. One per household\, while supplies last. \nA variety of brewed indigenous teas will be served for tasting. \nFunding for this program provided by a grant from Michigan Humanities.
