Community Connections
Flute Making Workshop
with Frank “Anakwad” Montano
July 22-24 • 10am-2pm
Fee: $150 for 3 day
workshop
Scholarship funds available
where needed
Participants will
experience hands-on
making of a traditional
Native American flute
using hand tools, and
will learn about the
origins and history of
the instrument – and of
course the flute is yours to
keep. Anakwad has been
making and playing this instrument for over 30 years
and has shared his skills with many people at similar
workshops. Call 715-373-5552 to register.
Northern Wisconsin is home to a rich, cultural heritage.
