Reviving the Art of Native Roaches | Bozeman News
Description
Montana State University Billings is hosting a vital workshop to revive the ancient art of crafting Native American roaches—ceremonial headdresses steeped in spiritual meaning. With skilled artists like David Madera traveling from across the country, participants are learning the painstaking, multi-year process from scratch, using rare materials like porcupine and deer hair. As these intricate pieces become harder to find and more expensive to make, the workshop aims to preserve this sacred tradition by passing down the craft to the next generation, ensuring Indigenous heritage endures for centuries to come.
