In’zhúje’waxóbe: Return of the Sacred Red Rock

Local artist Dora Agbas participated in a two-day ledger art workshop with Kaw artist Chris Pappan in November 2024. During the workshop, participants learned about the history of ledger art and the Sacred Red Rock. Following a field trip to visit In’zhúje’waxóbe at Allegawaho Memorial Heritage Park, Agbas created this handmade book with ledger paper and traditional Kaw ribbonwork design patterns that Pappan provided. The book includes her original poem, “Meditation on the Journey.”
