Niverville Recreation is excited to offer the first of 4 workshops in a program series titled "Creating Cultural Connections" made possible with funding from Healthy Together Now.
Join @brushandquillstudio for this unique creative experience! Enjoy an engaging storytelling session lead by Suzanne Pearson while you paint your own version of the story on canvas, guided step-by-step by Karen Spence.
THEME: “The Capable Hummingbird”
Zhi Kapaeb – I am capable
Hummingbird - Amoo Nawayzoo (bee bird in southern Michif)
At the end of the session, each participant takes home:
• A completed 14"x14" acrylic on canvas painting
• A deeper understanding of Métis culture
• A shared creative experience
About the hummingbird:
Every year, hummingbirds travel alone across great distances on their perilous migration back to Canada. Despite their tiny size, they are an expression of pure joy and boundless energy. One year (it might even have been last year!) there was a huge forest fire that caused all the animals to flee their homes in terror—except for one brave little hummingbird.
This Folklore story comes from the Quechuan people of South America and became well known through pre-contact trade routes to many Indigenous communities throughout North America/Turtle Island.
Spaces are limited. Register Online Today!
