WORKSHOP: BIRCHBARK  BASKET MAKING

Lyndon J Linklater is a traditional knowledge keeper and story teller. He is from the Thunderchild First Nation (Plains Cree) in Treaty #6 and has roots in Couchiching First Nation (Fort Francis, Ontario)  in Treaty #3.

Presently, Lyndon shares work with the Remai Modern Arts Museum in Saskatoon as their Indigenous Relations Advisor providing advice to their Board and staff and delivering cultural programming to the public and works with many other organizations, institutions and agencies with their journey towards reconciliation.

WORKSHOP DETAILS: 
It will be a beginner birchbark basket making workshop. I was taught how to work with birchbark by Ojibway Elders in Northwestern Ontario where I grew up. I used to work with an Elder who made birchbark canoes and baskets when I worked for a place in Thunder Bay, called “Old Fort William”.
