Description
Métis parents have cared for their babies for generations with waspisona (moss bags). These parenting tools keep baby safe, secure, and supports their development within our traditions.
Join us as we sew modern moss bags, which are within reach for even beginner sewists.
This class has two components. First, we will have a live sew along on zoom (which will be recorded), and second we will have online videos, patterns, and instructions for sewing your moss bag.
Natalie Pepin
Taanishi! Dishinikawshon Natalie Pepin. I am a Metis woman in the Tawatinaw Valley in Alberta, Canada. I support indigenous people who are reclaiming their indigenous roots to connect with their culture through learning the traditional skills, arts, stories and teachings of our ancestors. I support indigenous people, who are severed from their traditions by legacy and trauma of colonization, who are discovering that their culture is beautiful. I teach indigenous arts workshops such as beading, moccasin making and brain tanning as a means of reconciliation and reconnection.
