Enjoy an evening of Cree Crafts and storytelling in one of Alberta’s most beautiful natural settings, Elk Island National Park! Cree artists Marge and Cassandra Johnson will lead participants through unique crafting sessions. During the event the mother-daughter duo will share information about Cree culture and the significance of the chosen craft.
