SUMMARY:Orange Shirt Awareness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Ages 16+ Tickets by donation starting at $5.00 \nPlease registe
 r. Join us for a hands-on workshop where participants will learn a simple b
 eaded edge technique on orange pellon to create their own beaded pin—a pi
 ece they can wear on Orange Shirt Day (September 30) to honor the children 
 who never returned from residential schools and to affirm that Every Child 
 Matters. The orange shirt symbolizes the stripping away of Indigenous ident
 ity and culture\, while also representing resilience\, remembrance\, and he
 aling.\n\nThe workshop will be guided by Pearl White Quills\, from the Siks
 ikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy)\, Niitsitapi (The Real People) Siksika\
 , Kainai\, and Amskapi Piikani Nations. Blessed with the name Aa koa miyani
 st tsi'nih kiaki ~ Sings Many Different Songs Woman\, Pearl is the founder 
 of Bright Swan Creations. Since 2008\, she has been creating beadwork inspi
 red by knowledge passed down from her childhood. Alongside her children\, s
 he began selling beadwork at pow wows in 2012\, later expanding into sewing
  and sharing her gifts in song and drumming. Facilitating workshops that pa
 ss on teachings has become her passion\, with a mission to “Empower First
  Nations in all forms of artistry\, having our Spirituality as the foundati
 on. Inspiring healing through unity\, as one.”\n\nThis workshop is not on
 ly an opportunity to learn beading techniques\, but also to connect with In
 digenous culture\, teachings\, and the spirit of reconciliation.\n\nhttps:/
