‘It’s not just clothes’: Indigenous women celebrate identity through ceremony dress workshop – battlefordsNOW
Apr 20, 2026
For First Nation women, ceremony dresses represent identity, strength, and tradition.
That’s why generations of women gathered in Saulteaux First Nation last week to learn the process of creating tea dresses and ribbon skirts.
“It’s not just clothes,” said Candace Moccasin, one of the organizers for the workshop. “When we wear these dresses, they represent who we are as First Nation women. It makes us feel resilient and makes us feel powerful and humble when we put them on.”
