We’re excited to invite newcomers and immigrants living in Kamloops to our free Indigenous Beading Workshop led by talented Patsy Greyeyes!
Patsy is Nêhiyaw (Cree) from Bigstone Cree Nation and currently resides in Dane-Zaa Territory. She is an Intergenerational Residential School Survivor who spent much of her adult life living with internalized racism. Through her healing journey, Patsy has reclaimed and embraced her Cree culture. Now, she shares her passion and cultural knowledge through the traditional art of beading.
