Bear Paw Keepsakes Art Gallery Interview By: Larry Knudsen
Tell us about yourself? Both Stan and Loretta Webster are members of the Oneida Nation in Wisconsin. Loretta retired as Oneida Land Management Attorney in January 2004, and has managed to devote many of her hours to her lifelong love of beadwork. For the last 15 years, she has worked exclusively in the area of Iroquois Raised Beadwork. Stan retired from the Oneida Appeals Commission for a few years, and then was re-elected in 2007. This has curtailed his time being spent at the store, but his re-election occurred about the same time that Bear Paw Keepsakes hired one, then two, employees. He is still very involved in the progress of the store.

Review by: Jamison Mahto
I'm on my way to Augsburg College to hear Charlene Teters, co-founder of the National Coalition on Racism in Sports and the Media, speak on the issue and to watch the movie "In Whose Honor?" a film that documents the journey she has walked with dignity and pride. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves words and images hurt. I'm listening to Blackstone/Back In The Day and it starts out with an incredible 13 minute song titled "Come Dance, It's Beautiful" which sets me up for the rest of the CD and the poetry of bike riding the streets of Minneapolis.
