Our piece “Mankato Winter Pride”, aims to bring unity and spirit to the Minnesota State University Mankato’s Stomper community. We created an 8’ tall giant snowflake with the Stomper logo at its heart center. Radiating out from the center of the piece, is interwoven the seven Grandfather Teachings important to our team’s indigenous culture, and values held by the Mankato community.
The Jingle Dress was originally created during the 1918 flu pandemic to help heal those who were sick. The story goes that the granddaughter of an Ojibwe Medicine Man fell ill with the flu. The man had a recurring dream that 4 Native women were wearing this new kind of dress, dancing around and bringing healing to all around them. The women in the dream taught the man how to make the dress, what songs to play, and how to perform the dance, and that this would make his granddaughter well again. The community then gathered to create this special dress, and still perform the Jingle Dress Dance to this day at pow-wows and ceremonies across the country.
