ONEIDA – As if they were in a Harry Potter film, antique portraits will come to life, talking to each other and to visitors in an upcoming exhibit on the Oneida Reservation.
The portraits feature tribal citizens acting in roles of their individual ancestors who played important parts in the two-century history of the Oneida Nation in Wisconsin.
The panels will be displayed as part of a cultural and tourism exhibit on the reservation later this year.
Oneida officials came up with the idea of the digital portraits during the pandemic as a way to promote virtual tourism.
“We had to think about how to make tourism more accessible and exciting,” said Michelle Danforth-Anderson, Oneida Nation director of tourism and marketing.

âSupporting small businesses and shopping local has always been a passion of mine as a small business owner,â said Jack Arak, owner of GRQ Used Furniture. With how hard the pandemic hit last year, we thought it would be great to get the community involved in helping local vendors, bringing some cheer to everyone, and enjoying the warmer weather. We saw the need for community support throughout 2020, and our Fall Fest was a huge hit last year, so we are looking forward to this event as well.
