Moose Hide Teachings with Jess Sanderson-Barry

Traditional moose hide tanning serves as a practice of reclamation, sovereignty, and cultural resurgence. Participants engage in learning methods for tanning hides from the môswa (moose), which is regarded as a healing animal. The program highlights the importance of community, the transmission of traditional knowledge, and the sharing of stories regarding how the moose heals communities. Hands-on activities include moose hide scraping, using traditional tools, and working collectively.
