Opening Reception: January 20, 2-4pm

The Métis Ribbon Skirt exhibition, co-organized by the Gabriel Dumont Institute and the Saskatchewan Craft Council, celebrates Métis history while embracing the cultural traditions of women who continue to make and wear contemporary-style ribbon skirts. Ribbon skirts have become a symbol of cultural reclamation for Indigenous women, including Métis women, who wear ribbon skirts to honour their history and demonstrate cultural pride.
