In preparation for May 5, we’re gathering at Tidelands for a two-night Red Ribbon Skirt Making Workshop + Sewing Circle with Amelia Andress, a Haudenosaunee community educator.
Over two evenings, participants will learn the full ribbon skirt process—from measuring and cutting fabric, to ribbon placement, sewing, and finishing touches. By the end of day two, you’ll leave with a completed skirt made for yourself, a loved one, or to gift forward.
May 5 is recognized across many Indigenous communities as a day to honor Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP)—an ongoing crisis impacting Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit people, and relatives across Turtle Island. Red has become a symbol of remembrance, visibility, and the call for justice.
This gathering is intended for Native American / Indigenous identifying relatives.
$50 registration includes materials, ribbons, elastic, thread, and use of sewing machines. Or bring your own sewing project and join the open sewing circle in solidarity and community.
