Today, we are remembering Maude Kegg, or Naawakamigookwe (Middle of the Earth Woman), who was a renowned Ojibwe artist, writer, and cultural preservationist. Throughout her life, she worked to preserve Ojibwe language and culture, as well as share her crafts of traditional beadwork, rugs, and basswood-fiber dolls with the world.

She worked at the Mille Lacs Indian Trading Post with owner Jeannette Ayer before it became a museum, and then played a larger role in developing the new museum’s main attraction, the Four Seasons Room. In 1959, she continued her work in cultural interpretation as an MNHS guide.
