Celebrating Indigenous Water Connections at Crescent Park
Celebrate the vital connections between water, land, and community in this engaging afternoon led by CALL artist Dennis RedMoon Darkeem in collaboration with artist and wampum carver Tecumseh Ceaser. Focusing on water as a source of life and spiritual sustenance, we will explore Algonquian languages and the deep-rooted Indigenous histories of the region by creating a collective art piece.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will delve into the cultural and environmental significance of water through watercolor, stamp making and printing, storytelling, and performances that highlight Indigenous knowledge and traditions. This program invites community members of all ages to explore the sacred bond between people and nature. The event is a celebration of the Crescent Park community, fostering a deeper sense of togetherness while honoring Indigenous environmental practices.
