Welcome to Stomping Turtle, a place where Donna Jean Church of Bowler, WI, and her daughter, Kathryn Footit of Oshkosh, WI have been creating together for countless years. “From oil painting to other art hobbies, Mom’s interests were constantly changing, and always fascinating, so I wanted to learn and keep up”, says Kathryn. They began going to pow wows and focusing on traditional and contemporary native art and wearables around 1990. “It’s a more focused life, with a lot of culture and information to absorb along the way.”
Together, they sew men’s, ladies, and kid’s ribbon shirts, skirts and dresses, along with other makings certain to please everyone. Cute and one-of-a-kind faceless native ornaments have been Donna Jean’s task for the last few years. “I enjoy the challenge of giving each doll a personality of their own”, she says.
The ladies are members of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians in Wisconsin, who also celebrate their Oneida and Brotherton heritage. All three tribes originate from the eastern woodland coast of the U.S., making the Woodland Art Show a perfect place to show their art. “All the beauty you see at the show, makes you want to push your creativity a little harder!” says Kathryn.
