Imagine what it would feel like to stand next to a T. rex. Ponder what flowers smelled like 30 million years ago. See what inspiration you'll find and start turning your ideas into poetry with Eric Elshtain, the Field Museum's first poet in residence.&nbsp;
Join us for a series of weekly events that change how you see the museum—whether you’ve visited once or dozens of times. Encounter objects from our collection. Tour an exhibition. Find our poet in residence at a typewriter station to craft your own poem!
Eric hosts pop-ups most Thursdays from 10am–12pm, in locations across the museum. No prior knowledge of poetry needed. &nbsp;

Poetry Pop-up: On the Wings of Pterosaurs

Poetry Pop-up: T-rex-ing

Discover the natural world through poetry at weekly pop-up events featuring the Field’s poet in residence.

Poetry Pop-up

A group gathers at the corner of a diorama case. One man sits a desk with a typerwriter. He looks up to a family of three standing over him. The man in the middle stands with arms around the other two individuals. Both are smiling down at the man seated at the desk. A black box with a glass front holds a rock specimen and is propped up against the leg of the desk.

Samantha is a personal development and land based learning consultant who teaches life and employability skills that are grounded by traditional values. She uses her knowledge and experience to help build bridges of new understandings.

Samantha has accepted the gift to continue the work and research on Indigenous Astronomy by her sister Sasha Doxtator who passed away in July 2021. The sharing of this work and knowledge has been referred to as medicine by many communities. This aligns with Samantha's intentions which are to heal Indigenous oppression with astronomical knowledge and original ways of knowing with the focus of nurturing intergenerational gifts, creativity, and innovation. 

This past February, Samantha presented at the world-famous Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and became the first presenter in history to receive a standing ovation.

Samantha Doxtator, is Haudenosaunee from Oneida Nation of the Thames and Wolf Clan.

This event is part of <a href="https://www.fieldmuseum.org/activity/native-american-heritage-month">Native American Heritage Month</a> programming, which aims to celebrate Native people and tell Native stories.

Join us for a presentation that will take you on an introspective journey through Haudenosaunee Cosmology. From creation to current innovations, perseverance, restoration, the cycles of birth and death, and how they all correlate with the stars. Experience your own connections to grief and healing, compassion, resilience, and peace. Many communities have referred to this presentation as Good Medicine. This aligns with Samantha's intentions to help heal Indigenous oppression with astronomical knowledge and original ways of knowing. This information will light a spark inside of you, and you will want to see it again and again.
This event takes place in the A. Montgomery Ward Lecture Hall on the lower level. Registration is required.
