Mitten to showcase Native American bead work

Huntington resident Katrina Mitten will showcase her Native American bead work during Miami Indian Heritage Days on Saturday, Aug. 2, in Fort Wayne.

Mitten is a member of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma. In her teens, she began learning the art of embroidery-style beadwork of the Great Lakes Native Americans by studying family heirlooms and museum collections as she practiced her craft.

The program will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Chief Richardville House, 5705 Bluffton Rd., Fort Wayne. Admission is charged and includes the opportunity to visit the Chief Richardville House.
