We Are All Treaty People: Stitch your own Treaty 6 Needlework Sampler
Instructor: Celina Loyer, Christina Hardie, Maria Nelson
A treaty is a relationship between two nations. Treaty 6 covers central Alberta and Saskatchewan, and everyone who lives in this area, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, is responsible for maintaining this relationship. We are all Treaty People.
But what does it mean to be a Treaty person? What is the history and legacy of Treaty 6? And how do treaties continue to impact us all today?
Over seven weeks, explore what Treaty means to you by engaging in intimate conversations, personal reflection, and creating a needlework sampler. Each week, a different aspect of Treaty 6 will be discussed, and you will use the suggested patterns as a jumping-off point to stitch a design in response to the topic.
The first three sessions will take place at St. Albert’s Historic River Lots + Grain Elevators. The last four sessions will take place at the Little White School.
