THE WARMTH OF JABU: A GEOLOGY & CARTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

Friday June 20th | 2pm to 3:30pm

$30 adults/$25 for all Pratt Museum members

Celebrate the summer solstice season at the Pratt with a talk about the heritage of the nudech’ghela, the common coastal agate, and its roles in local geology and the cultural symbolism of the Homer area’s indigenous people. This discussion will be led by local tribal artist and Nichił cultural expert Argent Kvasnikoff who will examine the agate and local geology to explore how they inform the cultural heritage of the lower Kenai Peninsula. Guests will be invited to participate in an interpretive activity and to share their own personal accounts of finding agates in a group discussion. Guests are also encouraged to wear local agate colors, orange and yellow!
