A proud Kaska Dena First Nations individual. Growing up in small northern towns he’s had to suppress her individuality and learn to express himself in a multitude of alternative ways. Art and performing were her outlets. Learning to love the journey was the first step in their happiness. Dustin became enamored with Drag and later developed her drag personality Ella Lamoureux. Expressing himself in an extreme feminine way taught him that femininity is not to be avoided but embraced. Through drag she’s realized that Dustin and Ella are not separate people but one person. Just shown with a different light. Growing up fabulous in the North has many tough lessons but s/he would not be the person they are today without those lessons. \nThrough the art of drag Dustin/Ella has embraced their femininity and helped them on their journey of cultural/two-spirit identity. Learn about their journey and how to incorporate little acts of decolonization into your daily life. \nLight refreshments will be served so please come join us for an illuminating and meaningful experience!

We will be beading ornaments and will have supplies on hand to do so! We hope to have talks on how beading in circle can foster common threads within community\, and how the power of beadwork can be used to resist and push back against ongoing settler colonialism. \nBeading is an important pathway for Indigenous peoples to restore\, revitalize\, and reclaim ancestral practices and community connections destroyed by colonization. As a decolonial practice\, beadwork mobilizes Indigenous knowledge transmission and is intrinsically tied to the emotional\, spiritual\, and physical well-being of Indigenous peoples. \nJustine Woods and Presley Mills in their article Beading Is Medicine: Beading as Therapeutic and Decolonial Practice\n(2023) \n\nWhere\nOLARA\, Second floor in the All My Relations space \nSupplies Needed\nSupplies are provided along with light refreshments URL:https://knowledgemakers.trubox.ca/event/workshop-beading-as-medicine/ LOCATION:Olara 2nd Floor (Next to Clock Tower)\, 805 Tru Way\, Kamloops\, BC\, V2C 0C8\, Canada CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://knowledgemakers.trubox.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/293/2024/11/CBTF-2024-37-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20241119T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20241119T180000 DTSTAMP:20260420T001142 CREATED:20241112T211212Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250112T233308Z UID:7122-1732032000-1732039200@knowledgemakers.trubox.ca SUMMARY:IndigiQueer Firekeepers - Beading night DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of creativity\, culture\, and connection at Indigiqueer Beading Night!
