Description

Meskwaki Natural Resources welcomed in Daniel Youngbauer as a special guest instructor on Sept. 30, 2017, for a three-day pottery workshop. Participants practiced traditional techniques from Meskwaki Grande Village, Bell Site in Wisconsin, which is the only known site to hold Meskwaki pottery. The class is intended to a new generation how to make traditional Meskwaki clay pots.
