CULTURAL SHARING AND RECIPROCITY

Art is a great connector. Métis people are perhaps best known for their beadwork (we are known as “the flower beadwork people”), finger-weaving, embroidery, and ribbon skirts, moccasins and drums. As with any nation, our art continues to evolve - especially as it is no longer something to keep hidden and our members are revitalizing and reclaiming their heritage.

I welcome to opportunity to work with local First Nations and share beading, drum and moccasin teachings passed down to me from my Cree-Métis relatives. Some of my best youth events have included these information sharing sessions - especially when language is incorporated. If you would like to collaborate on sharing cultural knowledge through traditional arts, especially for disconnected youth or people away from home, please reach out!

If you are interested in learning more and wondering which workshops or teachings may be appropriate for non-Indigenous organizations, please feel free to ask and we can discuss options.
