Store open in Lac La Biche 10018-103 Ave (by McArthur Park) www.metismatriarch.com

Metis Matriarch is an Indigenous owned business offering fabric, notions, beads, cultural workshops, sewing machine rentals & Indigenous designs and retail creations. I am a proud Metis woman raised in Elizabeth Metis Settlement with traditional values and I am grateful to have been immersed in my rich and beautiful Metis culture. My family and I now call Buffalo Lake Metis Settlement home. I have also over 29 professional years of experience working in Public Administration with the municipal and provincial government. When I’m not creating, I am sharing Metis Traditional dance. I am grateful for the gift of dance and being immersed in dance throughout my life.

These saddle bags are BACK! 😍

Restocked in so many beautiful designs, the colours, florals and beadwork inspired details are absolutely gorgeous.

A beautiful way to carry a little Indigenous art with you wherever you go. Available now at Métis Matriarch, and I have a feeling these beauties won’t sit long!

Happening on September 29th; one day before National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

It was seriously so healing having La-Dawn in the store with us on Saturday.

There was something so special about the energy in the room,the sharing, the laughter, the connection and simply being able to slow down and be present together.

So, I’m incredibly grateful to welcome La-Dawn Redcrow back to Métis Matriarch for something a little different. ✨

Join us for a 60 minute Group Sound Healing Journey, beginning with intention setting and grounding before settling into an immersive sound experience with crystal singing bowls and other healing instruments.

Sometimes we carry so much without even realizing how badly we need a moment to just be. This evening is an invitation to come as you are, share space, slow down and leave feeling a little more grounded, rested and renewed.

Today, the store welcomed Clara to share her knowledge and techniques of fish scale art.

I’m truly grateful for everyone who chooses to enroll in cultural workshops like this. When you register, you’re not only learning the intricacies, patience, and beauty behind a traditional art form, you’re also directly uplifting the facilitators who carry this knowledge and take the time to share it with others.

Each participant created a beautiful framed piece to take home, and Clara generously donated one of her own creations as a prize for one lucky participant.

So much learning, creating, visiting, and sharing around the table today. Thank you, Clara, and thank you to everyone who continues to show up to learn and support cultural workshops at Métis Matriarch.

I am ECSTATIC to share that Indy City has officially arrived at Métis Matriarch!

And oh my goodness… the earrings. 😍

One of the things I’m most proud of as Métis Matriarch continues to grow is building a space where Indigenous artists and designers are represented, celebrated and properly credited for their work.

It’s also incredibly special knowing that for many of the designers we carry, Métis Matriarch is one of the first places their work is being shared here in Alberta.

I want this little store to continue being a place where you can walk through the doors and discover Indigenous artists and brands from across Turtle Island, some you may already love and others you’re meeting for the very first time.

So excited to officially welcome Indy City to Métis Matriarch. ✨

And seriously… wait until you see these earrings.

I absolutely love when I get the opportunity to curate gifts for you or your organization. 🧡

There’s something so special about thoughtfully putting pieces together, gifts that are beautiful, meaningful, and that support Indigenous artists, makers and businesses along the way.

Whether it’s one special gift or gift bags for an entire organization, I’m always so grateful when you trust Métis Matriarch to put it all together. 🫶🏽

Thoughtful gifting, with intention behind every piece.

I just love the way the sun pours into the store and fills this little space with so much warmth.

I really do love my days here. The conversations, the laughter, the visits, the creating, and even the quiet moments in between.

So grateful for every person who walks through the doors and chooses to spend a little bit of their time here. I’ll never take that for granted.

There’s something pretty special about this space. ✨

I’m just in awe of the incredibly talented artists who trust me to share their beautiful work and designs in the store.

I received these new beauties from Emily Cardinal, and they are absolutely stunning. Every time new pieces arrive, I’m reminded of just how much talent exists within our communities and how special it is to have these creations filling the store.

Emily’s newest pieces will be added to the website soon, where you can also find a beautiful selection of Indigenous designed and handcrafted pieces from talented artists.

🧡✨✨

RIBBON RESTOCK! ✨✨

Spools and spools of ribbon have been restocked!

It may not look like a lot sitting on the shelves, but there are thousands of dollars worth of ribbon here, and a little behind the scenes reality of stocking it: delivery alone starts at $490 USD. 🫨

That’s why I’m so grateful to the organizations, makers, sewers and individuals who choose to purchase their ribbon and sewing supplies locally. Every purchase helps me continue investing in inventory and keeping a great selection of colours and sizes right here in Lac La Biche.

Double-Sided Satin Ribbon
Full spools — $33
By the metre — $1.25/metre
Glitter Ribbon
Full spools — $27

And coming soon… pearlized ribbon packets!

Thank you for continuing to support Métis Matriarch and a small,100% Indigenous owned & operated business. Your support allows me to keep bringing these supplies into our community and keeping the shelves stocked.

I love these big mugs so much; new designs have also arrived.

AND… I’m so excited to share that Moccasin Joe, an Indigenous owned coffee roaster, will also be joining the store soon!

Indigenous designed mugs + Indigenous roasted coffee? Yes please.

Perfect for your coffee, tea, or whatever keeps you warm and going throughout the day.
