Project Description

Dene Rose, Loving A friend was mailed from Yellowknife, NWT yesterday by a friend as I landed in Edmonton, Alberta on my return to Ontario. It was almost sent from Inuvik, NWT where the 43rd Dene National Assembly was held. Like our ancestors, it travelled following work, tragedies, peace and family including Michigan, USA where I stitched the edgings. It was intended for a dear friend but we both felt it did not have ‘the feel’ as the original I had sewn for her moccasin back in the 1970s, so we are donating it. We are still trying with memory for the last one!
