National Ribbon Skirt Day Workshop

Mandy Calvert is Metis with her maternal roots Ojibwa and her paternal roots Cree. She has been sewing for many years specializing in dance and figure skating clothing. She wanted a connection back to her culture and started her passion for ribbon skirt making and beadwork while passing on the significance and traditions surrounding the teachings of ribbon skirts. Mandy is a part of the UNHBC Drum group that gathers every Monday evening outside the Prince George hospital.
