Join us as we create paintings of moccasin designs, developing a deeper understanding of Indigenous relationships to the land through an art-based activity, celebrating Indigenous heritage and culture
Join Oakville Public Library to celebrate Indigenous heritage and culture, while creating a visual reminder to recognize and honour the past. The Moccasin Identifier advances Treaty and Indigenous awareness in Canada by helping you develop a greater understanding of Treaties and Indigenous relationships to the land.
Using a Moccasin Identifier Education Kit participants will use stencils based on drawings of historical moccasins of the Anishanaabe, Huron-Wendat, Seneca and Cree to create temporary or permanent paintings of the moccasin designs, grounding their learning through an art-based activity.
This drop-in program is for all ages.
Please come prepared to paint!
