There are many ceremonies apart of Indigenous cultures that occur at throughout the year, seasons, or for specific purposes that relate to certain events, periods of life, and more. Broadly, these ceremonies differ between First Nations, Metis, and Inuit and have been practiced and passed down for many generations. Even more specific, ceremonies can vary depending on the specific Nation, community, or clan.
Learning in this workshop will allow participants to experience two types of ceremonies. The ceremonies will be lead and guided by an Indigenous person and participants will have an understanding of, but not limited to sacred items, etiquette, practices and protocol for a base of a variety of ceremony.
