M1 P3: Cedar Harvest and Cedar Weaving

At my school, some of the classes are learning about the cedar harvest and how cedar was used by the Indigenous communities. One of the purposes that was discussed, was cedar weaving. This year, some of our primary grade classrooms were fortunate to be able to have a lesson about cedar weaving from Jessica Silvey through Zoom. They each made cedar bark mats and she talked about how the cedar was prepared and how the cedar had many uses. It was a valuable experience for the students that was hands-on and engaging.
I have included a link to her website below for people who may be interested in seeing her availability for hosting workshops.
