Beadwork as Heritage with Tara Mitchell | Lawrence News
Description
This Friday, July 10th, the Watkins Museum invites you to witness a powerful cultural revival as Tara Mitchell, a master bead artist and tribal historic preservation officer, leads a special presentation on Prairie Band Potawatomi beadwork — a tradition passed down through generations, blending history, identity, and artistry. Join her as she demonstrates this vibrant craft, rooted in community and resilience, as part of the “Kansas Folklife” and “America at 250” series. Meanwhile, justice rolls forward in Douglas County, where Carrody Buchhorn, wrongfully convicted of murder, is declared innocent — and awarded $369,000 in compensation — as the infant’s death is now confirmed to be from natural causes. This episode blends cultural celebration with hard-won justice — a reminder that art preserves heritage, and truth can set the record straight.
