MEDICINE HAT, AB – A pair of celebrations of Métis culture are coming to Police Point Park in the next two weeks.

This Friday from 1-3 p.m. the MH Interpretive Program is hosting a Métis Beading Workshop at the Nature Centre.

“This specific type of beading originates from the mixture of two cultures: the flower embroideries of French-Canadian nuns and First Nations beading,” the group says of the beading being taught.

They say the goal is to teach people about a unique culture that has been around for hundreds of years.

The cost is $10 which includes all supplies, and you can call the Nature Centre at 403-529-6225 to register.
