Summary:
Folklorist James P. Leary worked with two Ho-Chunk student fieldworkers, Michelle Greendeer and Randy Tallmadge, to interview and photograph eight traditional Ho-Chunk master traditional artists in 1994. They documented black ash splint basketmaking, beadwork, drum-making, fingerwoven sashmaking, moccasin and regalia-making, ribbonwork, quillwork, and contemporary work in oil painting and sculpture. Overseen by Ho-Chunk elder Kenneth Funmaker Sr., then Director of the Hocak Wazijaci Language and Culture Preservation Committee, the project culminated in a photo-text exhibit, a two-day art show, and a booklet featuring the traditional artists.

Language: The records are in English.
