A special invitation for Museum Members to 



A FAMILY CHRISTMAS TEA AT FIELD MUSEUM 



Thursday, December 1 1 



1:00 -3:00 p.m. 

 Stanley Field Hall 



The Pottery, basketry, textiles, dance, and 

 music of the American Indians embodies the 

 heritage and values of these ancient cultures. 

 The techniques for creating these arts, which 

 have been handed down from generation to 

 generation for hundreds of years, continue to be 

 taught by the elders to the younger members of 

 the tribes. 



Join us in November as we celebrate this 

 legacy of Chicago area Native Americans. Meet 

 and talk with craftspeople as they demonstrate 

 their fine artistic skills on Saturday, November 

 22, from 1:00 to 3:00pm. Experience the pagean- 

 try, rhythm, and athletic agility of tribal and 

 fancy dancers and musicians during per- 

 formances at 1:00pm and 3:00pm, on Friday and 

 Saturday, November 28 and 29. 



World Music Program 



Saturdays and Sundays in November 

 1:00 and 3:00pm 



Music Communicates Many Different 

 Things to many different people. It is some- 

 thing that can be shared by all of us, whether or 

 not we have common lifestyles, beliefs, or even 

 languages. From the rhythmic sounds of the 

 talking drum to the melodic strains of a Native 

 American flute, experience with us the music of 

 Africa and Native American cultures. 



The World Music Program is supported by 

 Kenneth and Harle Montgomery in honor of E. 

 Leland Webber, president emeritus of Field 

 Museum.
