Please come out for a day of learning and crafting! We will be learning about the Women’s Fancy Shawl and we will be making shawls. The goal of the workshop is to bring awareness and light to the issue or Missing and Murdered Indigenous Woman and Girls. We will honour those that have gone missing by creating shawls and we will be giving back to the community through our Pow Wow in June. If you would like to learn, create and give back we invite you to come out and be apart of this amazing project.
