The other women's #RibbonSkirts ❤️
We all had a wonderful time at this 2 day #IndigenousLed ribbon skirt workshop. Everyone helped one another. Multiple new friendships were sparked. What a great way to connect & engage with fellow, local #POCwomen 🙌

A beader & cultural sewing specialist Auntie, showing me one of her wonderful #RibbonSkirts. The #Indigenous #loons pattern fabric seen here is no longer sold anywhere.
She made the hat worn in this photo too.

#SixtiesScoop #activist Katherine Strongwind called the move from #RCMP an “insult.”
She said there is “nothing #Indigenous about the RCMP.”
“They can hire Indigenous people but it doesn’t change their many #HumanRights violations and their continued role in #MMIWG. #RibbonSkirts are #sacred & not to be associated with #genocide,” she said, adding whoever thought of the idea should be fired.
