Culture Nights help community members practice self-care and cultural connection through a series of fun and engaging activities. Each week brings a new activity.
Every Culture Night begins with a shared dinner. During this time, community members share stories, laughter, and anticipation for the coming activities. Weeks generally rotate between Craft Night and Language Night. All of this is community-led, with community members sharing goals or interests in certain activities that inform upcoming workshops.
Craft Nights offer more than typical crafting; they’re an opportunity to explore all aspects of creativity. The past year saw a traditional medicine workshop, a paint night, and a rawhide rattle workshop. Community members also learned traditional stick games!
Language nights aim to teach traditional languages in an engaging and connected way for all ages. This year, SENĆOŦEN Bingo and Hul’q’umi’num Bingo became nights filled with fun and invaluable lessons for the whole family.
