With help from Brandon University Anishinaabe Knowledge Keeper Barb Blind, university student Cari Trout of Cross Lake First Nation sews a ribbon skirt at the BU Indigenous Peoples’ Centre on National Ribbon Skirt Day, Thursday. According to Blind, who has sewn traditional skirts since the mid 1990s, the skirts represent the power of Indigenous women and their connection to the earth. This year is the second National Ribbon Skirt Day, which commemorates the experience of Isabella Kulak, a member of Cote First Nation in Saskatchewan, who was shamed for wearing a ribbon skirt to her school in 2020. The BU Indigenous Peoples’ Centre will be hosting ribbon-skirt-making workshops each Thursday throughout the month from 10 a.m. until early afternoon.
