We Are All Treaty People: Stitch your own Treaty 6 Needlework Sampler
Over seven weeks, participants will explore what Treaty means to them by engaging in intimate conversations, personal reflection, and creating a needlework sampler. Each week, a different aspect of Treaty 6 will be discussed, and participants will use the suggested patterns as a jumping-off point to stitch a design in response to the topic. This course is suitable for beginners, and no prior skill is needed. All materials will be provided.
Ages: 14+/Adults
Location: Little White School, 2 Madonna Drive, St. Albert, AB. and St. Albert’s Historic River Lots + Grain Elevators, 4 Meadowview Drive, St. Albert, AB.
