Dressed in her native regalia, Illinois Humanities Road Scholar Kim Sigafus will be giving a history of the natives in Illinois with a focus on native women, or what was considered “The Hidden Half.” Her primary focus will be women such as Singing Bird (Blackhawk’s wife), and Hononegah.

Kim will bring the audience into these women’s day-to-day lives, including courting, marriage, and child-rearing. She will also talk about their role in their husbands’ lives, and how those lives affected the history of Illinois.

Kim will bring native items that women would have used in their daily lives, as she discusses the role women played within the family unit. 

The audience will be able to pick up and view the items, learn native language and music, and get the chance to play the drum in this interactive experience.

Registration is encouraged.
