Reviving a ‘lost art:’ program brings back Mi’kmaw cedar weaving

Over a dozen children from L’nui Menikuk (Indian Island) First Nation, 66 km north of Moncton, were part of a program that’s helping to revive cedar weaving, an art rarely practiced in Mi’kma’ki.

The kids spent time splitting cedar wefts and adding it to a project led by Kouchibouguac National Park interpreter Katrina Sock, also from Indian Island.

Ewan Barlow, who is nine, said he was a bit nervous of poking himself when he worked with a needle point to spilt the cedar. Full story here.
