THUNDER BAY — Biigtigong Nishnaabeg Elders Beatrice Twance-Hynes and Edna Fisher enjoyed creating moccasins with other Elders during Anishinabek Employment and Training Services’ Elders Moccasin Making Workshop on March 30-31 in Thunder Bay.

“I made moccasins for my son — it was really nice to get together with the other Elders to make moccasins and to learn how to put them together,” Elder Twance-Hynes says. “The kit was made by Ed-Digenous Traditions. She instructed us on how to make the moccasins, how to measure our feet, and to lay it out so that we could cut it out. It was nice to also learn from each other as well and to make those connections or reconnections with others and to chat.”
