Our free Kistehitah kimeskanām - honour your journey/road workshop this month is an adult moccasins class!

In keeping with our project's vision, moccasins made at this workshop will stay with our Society to go into ceremony and then be gifted to families who have a loved one journeying back to the spirit world.

This workshop takes four days/two weekends to complete. Folks are asked to commit to Sept 19-20 and October 17-18, 2026 (10 am to 6 pm all four days).

Kistehitah kimeskanām is a project arising from the identification of unmarked graves at former residential school sites across Turtle Island. It comes from a vision of a path lined with baby moccasins leading to a beautiful healing lodge. A pipe ceremony was held for the start of this project with Elder Ruth Cardinal de Ubiera in 2021.

The moccasins (maskisina), moss bags (wâspisona) and crib sized star blankets created as part of this project will honour the children who were sent to the schools, the new spirits coming into the world today and spirits journeying home.

An Elder or knowledge keeper will join us to share teachings and language.

You will go home with skills that can be used to make more crafts and be shared with others. Take home patterns and instructions will be provided.

Much gratitude to our funder ECALA, our partner Dickensfield Amity House and Nikawiy Beads & Gifts for making these workshops possible.
