Native Culture Celebrated on Campus

A new painting was unveiled at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire on Friday. 

Native American artist Christopher Sweet’s new painting is inspired by Council Oak, a meeting ground for Indigenous nations on campus.  Sweet was also inspired by his mother’s journey as a student at the university, as she was the first Native American to graduate from there.  The unveiling ceremony featured poetry read by his cousin and former Wisconsin Poet Laureate Dee Sweet. CLICK HERE FOR COVERAGE WITH WEAU 13 NEWS.
