Agnes is a strong advocate for Indigenous peoples and the Anishinaabemowin language.
Agnes and her daughter will be demonstrating how to make dream catchers and baby drums. Agnes loves incorporating hands-on elements to all her teachings in a make-and-take style program. You will leave this class with two new culturally relevant items, and a better understanding of Anishinaabemowin.

Summer is currently working for Indigenous Languages of Manitoba and the Manitoba Aboriginal Languages Strategy (MALS) as the Program Assistant.

Summer is dedicated in continuing her work in the preservation of Indigenous languages and sharing her language and culture with all.
Summer will be demonstrating how to make delicious fried Bannock! She will go through the steps on what you will need and how to make this treasured traditional food. By integrating language and cooking together, it is an interactive and fun learning experience for all!
