SUMMARY:Quilt Show Opening Event
DESCRIPTION:The Museum will host Jean Wakely\, public speaker\, storyteller\, author\, and curator of the Story Quilt Project. Her presentation brings quilt stories to life—inviting audiences to laugh\, reflect\, and reconnect with personal and historical memories. Programs are family-friendly\, interactive\, collaborative\, and engaging. \nThe morning will start at 10 am with speaker Jean Wakely. Light breakfast refreshments will be served courtesy of Cow Creek Bakery. \nIf you have a quilt—or a story stitched into fabric—that you’re willing to share\, we would be honored to include it in this community showcase celebrating creativity\, heritage\, and women’s history. \n\nRSVP suggested for treat planning https://events.humanitix.com/quilt-who-grand-opening-roseau \nAbout the speaker: \n  \nAbout Jean Wakely\nJean Wakely was born and raised in Cut Bank\, Montana. The oldest of seven children\, she spent seven years in 4-H and later attended the Minnesota School of Business and the University of Minnesota. Her early career included work as an administrative assistant in several law firms before she married and eventually settled in Northfield\, Minnesota. \nJean raised three children and is the proud grandmother of five. She retired from Carleton College\, where she served as Administrative Assistant to the college’s interior designer. In 2011\, Jean inherited her mother’s quilts\, an experience that led to the creation of the Story Quilt Project. These quilts have since been professionally appraised and insured and have traveled widely for public programs and exhibits. \nJean has written booklets documenting seven of the story quilts\, with additional works in progress. Today\, she travels as a professional speaker\, sharing the quilts’ many subjects through engaging storytelling programs that connect generations—from young children to grandparents—both in person and via Zoom. \n\nJean’s Mother\, Jewell Wolk (1924–2011)\nJewell Wolk was born\, raised\, married\, and lived her entire life in her beloved hometown of Cut Bank\, Montana. After raising seven children\, she found time to focus on her own passions and became a lifelong gatherer of women and women’s stories. \nJewell wore many hats throughout her life. She was a Sunday School teacher\, entrepreneur\, 4-H leader\, seamstress\, quilter\, landlord\, and respected community leader. Her home was often filled with women in the afternoons\, sharing stories over coffee—the traditional\, informal way of caring for one another long before the term “mental health” was widely used. \nHer quilts are registered at the Helena History Center as part of Montana Quilts by Montana Quilters. Jewell was published in First Prize Quilts by Simon & Schuster (1984) and featured in national quilting magazines. She shared her quilts across Montana\, Colorado\, Nevada\, and California\, appearing in person as well as on television and radio. \nThis activity is made possible by the wonderful voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Northwest Minnesota Arts Council\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

SUMMARY:Ladies Luncheon featuring Nikki Rajala
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an afternoon of conversation\, a delightful light meal\, and a selection of fine teas while Nikki Rajala tells the story of \n  \n \nWomen in the Fur Trade: (There Were Some??) \nThough Native American women were rarely shown in paintings or named in the journals\, they were\nvital partners in the French-Canadian fur trade. Instead of paddling or portaging\, women produced food\n(for an extra 4-8 mouths at a local fur post\, during the hungry season!)\, sewed clothing\, processed pelts\,\nhealed with medicinal herbs\, made birch bark canoes — and more\, making trade possible.\nThis presentation highlights the daily contributions of Native American women as well as a few\nwho chose unique roles — as interpreters\, guides for expeditions\, fostering peace among tribes; one took\nover the trade when her husband was murdered. After a Métis colony was established and a second one by\nLord Selkirk\, a few European women began traveling west\, including the Grey Nuns. Each group brings\nremarkable stories of grit and perseverance. \nCost is $10\, and preregistration is required. \nGet your tickets here: https://events.humanitix.com/ladies-luncheon-roseau \n  \nThis activity is made possible by the wonderful voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Northwest Minnesota Arts Council\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
