Each year the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS) will collaborate with a different artist to develop a limited-edition collaborative product line. The series is called Our Home: Native Minnesota, and it is connected with the exhibit at the Minnesota History Center.
In the initial year, MNHS is featuring Fond du Lac artist Sarah Agaton Howes of Heart Berry.
Giizh Agaton Howes is an Anishinaabe Ojibwe mama, runner, artist, and organizer from Fond du Lac. She is the creator of Heart Berry, an Ojibwe lifestyle brand specializing in bringing Ojibwe art to the world. Bringing together traditional designs with contemporary life, she creates from the smallest of logos to art installations. She teaches cultural art, focusing on moccasin making. Heart Berry is a proud Inspired Natives collaborator with Eighth Generation and Minnesota Historical Society Artist in Residence in 2018-19.
