2023 Workshop Program
The following is the list of workshops for the 2023 Native Rhythms Festival.
All of these workshops are free, except as noted where a nominal fee is charged to cover the cost of materials the attendee
will take away from the workshop. All of these workshops have limited enrollment (most limited by the space in the workshop
tent). Early (on-line) registration is strongly encouraged.
Workshop registration now open!
And will remain open until the end of the day on
Sunday, November 5, 2023.

Workshop Registration
Use the instructions at the bottom of this page for advanced registration for
individual workshops. Seats in all workshops will be allocated on a first-come/first-serve basis, beginning with
advanced registration from this page. Any remaining seats (not allocated by advanced registration) will be available for
on-site registration on a first-come/first-serve basis at the workshop check-in tent. Once all available seats have been
allocated, a waiting list will be established for each workshop.
When registering, please limit your selections to 5 workshops
that you actually plan to attend. PLEASE do not register for
workshops that you "might" want to attend. It's not
fair to others if workshops reach their stated capacity only
because numerous people who aren't sure they will attend have
registered, and others who really want to attend are blocked
from registering. If you have more than 5 workshops that you
want to attend, list those additional workshops in the stand-by
section of your registration message and you will be placed on
the waiting list for them.
Upon receipt of your registration request message, our workshop registrar will send an e-mail to you to confirm your
registration or indicate your position on the waiting list. That confirmation message will come from the e-mail address
workshops@nativerhythmsfestival.com.
Nothing else will be accepted as confirmation of your registration. You may wish to print out your confirmation e-mail message from workshops@nativerhythmsfestival.com
when it arrives, and bring it with you to the festival.
In the past, some of our flute enthusiasts have registered for all workshops, including those they did not actually plan
to attend. This prevented people wanting to attend those workshops from registering. We ask all to please be respectful of
others. Do not sign up for workshops that you don't definitely plan to attend.
On-line advanced registration will open when the workshop
schedule is published and closes at the end of the day on
Sunday, November 5, 2023. A workshop
check-in tent will be set at the entrance to the large workshop tent. On-site check-in for those who pre-register on-line is required, with
empty seats filled at the check-in tent on a first-come/first-serve basis. A waiting list will be maintained when the workshop
capacity is reached.
All advanced (pre-registered) registrants must check-in at the workshop check-in tent upon arrival at the festival
on the day of their workshops to confirm their presence and their plan to participate in the workshops for which they have registered. Seats not confirmed
in this manner will be reopened and made available to those on the
stand-by list.
Although most of the workshops are designated as "space available" and likely will be able to accommodate all who
wish to participate, we request that those who wish to participate in them submit an advanced registration
request below
so that we will have an idea of the number of people to expect and can plan accordingly.

Title: Threads Through
Time: Traditional Twining
Leader: Joyce Bugaiski
Fee: $10.00 for provided supplies
Scheduled time: Saturday, 3:30-5:30
Program Length: 2 hours
Location: Workshop tent, main festival grounds
Class Size: 25
Twining is a centuries old technique that was used to make
utilitarian bags for hunting and gathering, shoes and clothing for
southeast Indigenous tribes, including the Cherokee.
Today, twining is used to revive a lost art to create contemporary pieces.
To create a standard twined bag, modern materials such as dowel rods to create a handmade loom and hemp for the cordage.
You can make different-sized bags by placing the dowel rods in different
places on the loom frame. Indigenous people would actually use two sticks
in the ground depending on the size of bag or the garment that we're going
to make. So they had two sticks in the ground and they would
weave."
Symbolism Associated with: Today, as twined bags are made to revive a lost art, modern materials such as hemp and jute are used for cordage and colors
are added in for stylistic affect.
Twining History
Language archivist Jarred Miller's studies of the twining
method have found that the technique goes back as far as 9,500 years ago to
a place called Icehouse Bottom, an archaeological site at the bottom of
what is now the Tellico Dam in Tennessee. According to an archaeological
report, Miller said there were indications of twining captured in clay.
"They were touching the ground with it," Miller said. "And what they're
finding is that it looks exactly like twining, and it looks like the open
knot method that you would make fishing nets with. So that's embedded in
their hearth from 9,500 years ago."
He said because the location is near Cherokee homelands, so it is inferred
that it possibly comes from Cherokee people.
The twining method used thread or cordage made from bison wool, bear hair,
possum hair, fibers from tree bark such as paw paw, basswood and mulberry
or plants such as milkweed, nettle and dogbane. The idea was to twist or
turn the materials to create thread and then weave it.
"You have all these different, what we would call 'weeds' today in the 21st
century, but they have a purpose, and you can make fibers from them. And
that's done by that act of twisting and twining," he said.
Once the thread was created, Cherokees weaved them for fishing nets, tump
lines to carry large game, shoes, utilitarian bags and clothing.
My "twining" is self taught by watching Betty Frogg on Youtube. Betty is a
member of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma. To quote Betty and myself, "once
you learn how to do something, teach someone else."
THIS CLASS SIZE WILL BE LIMITED TO 25 STUDENTS.
QUIET WATCHERS WILL BE ALLOWED BUT MAY NOT HAVE ROOM FOR SEATING.
YOU ARE WELCOME
TO STAND AND WATCH AND QUIETLY SLIP OUT WHEN YOU CHOOSE.
"I love sharing my art and mostly 'self-taught' skills with
anyone who wishes to learn. I find great joy in seeing the excitement of someone who
has just learned how to do something new that I have taught
them. It fills my heart and spirit with great satisfaction of knowing traditional
skills and crafting will continue on for generations.
In my adult life I have overcome many obstacles to reach my goals
in learning and sharing."
Joyce's art has been published many times, including 6 editions
of the Cherokee Heritage Calendar, and has illustrated 2
children's books. She has also won over 100 awards for her art,
including several at previous Native Rhythms Festival
competitions. Joyce currently serves Native Rhythms as the
competition coordinator and regularly leads workshops teaching

Title:
What You Didn't Know About the Cherokee
Trail of Tears
Leader: John Ellis
Fee: Free
Scheduled time: Saturday, 2:00-3:30
Program Length: 1.5 hours
Location: Workshop tent, main festival grounds
Class Size: Space available
What most people know about the Cherokee "Trail of Tears"
can be expressed in a single sentence: "The army gathered up the
Cherokee people and forced them to walk nearly 700 miles to Oklahoma,
where many died - giving us the name Trail of Tears."
Few know that the course actually began when President Thomas Jefferson
made the Louisiana Purchase partly to have land west of the Mississippi
to which the Eastern tribes could be relocated. Or that the Cherokee
removal resulted from a treaty signed by former tribal leaders who had
no authority to speak for the Cherokee people. Or that Principal Chief
John Ross' wife died of exposure after giving up her blanket to a cold
child. And that there was not a single trail.
Routes of the Cherokee Trail of Tears
In this workshop, John will walk you through all that
the Cherokee people did to attempt to satisfy the American expectations
to be able to remain in their historic homeland. But how their
successes actually made the Whites even more envious of what they had
accomplished, and ever more aggressive in pushing them out, even after
the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled in favor of Cherokee sovereignty.
This workshop will be jam-packed with information
to give attendees a new understanding of this tragedy of American
history.
John Ellis first learned of his family tree's Cherokee branch when researching
for a junior high school genealogy project that emphasized the students'
nationalities and ethnicities. The story he learned was about a family who
traveled the Trail of Tears until they "deserted" the trail near
Springfield, MO, his maternal family's home, and where he was born. Over the
years he has learned much about the history of the "removal" and wants
to share that knowledge in this workshop.
The suffering on the Trail of Tears provided the inspiration for
his first CD, called "Echoes From the Trail", a tribute to the memory
of those who were forced to make the journey, those who survived and those who
didn't. It consists of a dozen songs from the old Cherokee Hymn Book (first
published in the Cherokee syllabary in 1829), all to the tune of familiar hymns.
It was recorded by Johnny Kee, John's stage name, honoring the Kee branch of his
family tree.

World War II Navajo Code
Talkers
Leader:
John Pasko
Fee:
Free
Scheduled time:
-- CANCELED --
Program Length:
1 hour
Location:
Workshop tent, main festival
grounds
Class Size:
Space available
An historical presentation of the role that the Navajo Code Talkers
played in World War II through the display of artifacts and a slide
show presentation. While the allies were able to break the most
secure codes of the Axis powers, the code talkers "code"
was never broken.
U.S. Marine Commanders initially opposed the idea of using the Native
American language again in the war (they had been used in WW I), but
later agreed to a test mockup trial
run for secret battle intel to be sent via NCT vs the more common
cryptography. A group of (30) Navajos were initially recruited and after
a sucessful test, more were authorized. After testing, 29 remained,
which now are commonly referred to as the First 29.
The code was created. During the first two days during the Battle of
Iwo Jima, 800 message were sent, and all were flawlessly received. Where
the cryptography machines sometimes took 25-30 minutes or longer to
decipher its message, the NCT accomplished this within minutes. A total
of 400 NCT were used during WWII and only 3 survive today.
In search of a way to help honor first responders
and military personnel, the Founder-CEO of
Families of the Shield, John A. Pasko, a (Ret.) Police Officer, located
one of the few remaining United States Marine WWII Navajo Code Talkers
(NCT), from Keyenta, Arizona. Pfc. Samuel Tom Holiday and members of
his
family agreed to come to Florida to participate in the show and was
also honored by U.S. Congressman Bill Posey. Holiday received a Special
Certificate of Congressional Recognition for his contributions to our
country during WWII.
As time went on, both
families became friends and John was invited out to Window Rock, Arizona,
to attend as a guest of the Holiday family, to the National Code
Talkers Day; August 14th by Helena Begaii, (Samuels daughter). Helena
introduced John to the Navajo Nations President Russell Begaye and VP
Jonathan Nez and many other high ranking dignitaries. |
