Jul16 Rattle Making with Michel Labine 7/16/2011 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Midnight Sun Recreation Complex Arena (map)

Rattles are found in many Aboriginal cultures and are used in many ways, from a calming sound for a child to enriching the sounds of a dance. During the workshop, participants will use rawhide and a caribou antler section to create a Dene Style rattle. The participants will have to return the following day for half an hour to finish the rattle and adorn it once it has dried.

Facilitator: Michel Labine - Drum Maker, Glass & Welding from Fort Smith, NT

Other Info: Other info: Half Day, $115 per Person including materials
