Tall Feathers

RAISING SOCIETAL AWARENESS OF SACRED INDIGENOUS WISDOM THROUGH THE ARTS.

Tall Feathers is a community engagement program offering workshops led by Indigenous Elders and guided by talented artists, where participants create larger paper feathers. Additionally, we provide complete kits for individuals, families, groups, and organizations to craft small feathers that symbolically express their unique stories and discover principles of Indigenous wisdom.

Imagine creating a feather twice human scale, telling your story with colours and forms, perhaps adding some special words or images. Guided by the sacred Indigenous wisdom we make large feathers and raise them together in a field. Feathers are accessible to all peoples, they resonate with consciousness and connect our journey to community and to the earth we live on. Making the feather is about creativity, healing, resilience, community and reconciliation.

The Feathers inspire a spirit of sharing, caring, respect, and honesty. By exchanging their stories, participants gain insights from one another, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other. Working together and learning from each other we are on the path of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada
