Traditionally, ribbon skirts are worn by Indigenous women and girls during ceremony and special community events. Over time, ribbon skirts have evolved and are now seen at events to show support for causes. Women and girls wear these brightly coloured ribbon skirts to honour their ancestral practices and it’s a way to connect to their traditions and an expression of culture.

Learning outcomes: In this 2 day workshop, you will have an opportunity to make your own Ribbon Skirt, and to learn about its traditional significance.

This workshop is all inclusive and welcomes participants from all genders and identities.
