One Hundred Years of Healing: The Jingle Dress Tradition	Apr 3rd	12:00am	Mille Lacs Indian Museum
Opening April 3 at the Mille Lacs Indian Museum is an exhibit on the Jingle Dress Tradition featuring work by Mille Lacs Band member Steve Premo. The global influenza epidemic that killed millions of people worldwide from 1918-1919-including thousands of North American Indians and Alaska Natives-was the tragic inspiration behind a revolutionary new tradition of healing that emerged in Ojibwe communities of the United States and Canada: the jingle dress dance. Through photographs, oral tradition, and a display of jingle dresses from the MNHS collections, visitors will learn about the jingle dress dance and how its origins can be traced to the Mille Lacs Ojibwe. The exhibit commemorates the epidemic and the 100th anniversary of the jingle dress dance. It is being developed in partnership with the University of Minnesota Department of American Studies and the Mille Lacs Ojibwe community.
