Indigenous 2- Row Traditional Bracelets
Workshop Description:
During the first day of seminars I participated in a seminar called 2 Row Traditional Bracelets hosted by Diane Montreuil. This was an interactive hands-on seminar with a relaxing atmosphere. We listened to Diane's story about her past and how she connected to the First Nations people. The best part was getting to make a traditional bracelet made out of natural materials (bone, deer leather and beeswax). Diane mentioned a statement that at first, I did not understand until she further explained which was- The education system got us into this mess the only thing that can get us out is schools. Because residential schools broke apart families, and created a sense of distrust and fear therefore there will always be uncertainty with the issue of schools.
