This featured trio from Indigenous Summer bridges tradition and innovation, each using their medium to honor the past while shaping the future.

🪡Kianga Lucas 
With over 20 years of beadwork experience, Kianga stitches color, tradition, and story into every piece. Her “Beaded Birch Bark Headband” incorporates birch bark and sweetgrass, while “Eastern Blanket Dancer” honors women who preserve the power and pride of Eastern Woodlands dances.

🎨Erick Krigsvold
A storyteller and self-taught digital artist, Erick reinterprets traditional Indigenous imagery for the modern era. His digital prints like “Okeus & Ahone” reclaim cultural narratives, while works such as “Racial Integrity” and screrenprinted collage, “Lost & Alone”, confront history and resilience with striking, contemporary visuals.

🪵Nathan Elliot
A fourth-generation woodworker, Nathan blends craft and symbolism in bowls, carvings, and jewelry. His “Turtle Bowl” carries the themes of longevity and wisdom, while works like “Intertribal” and “Peace Haudenosaunee” bring to life community, dialogue, and cultural endurance.

Indigenous Summer closes tomorrow! See it before it ends; on view now at the Suffolk Center Galleries through Saturday, September 13. Galleries are open Tuesday–Saturday, 10 AM–4 PM.
