CMP Review 2025-09-26

September 26, 2025

In Canada, September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We live on the Providence Manitoba campus, which stands on Treaty One Territory.

This year, as part of the week’s event, we had a very special opportunity to share in the weaving of this Métis sash (une ceinture fléchée).

Students, faculty, staff, and friends and neighbours got to share in this work together. It is so beautiful.

The neighbourhood children especially enjoyed coming to add their weaving to the project. (And now they are asking, “can we get a loom to share in the neighbourhood?“)

I can see why people love to loom! This table loom is just fascinating.

Any weavers out here? Share a story or tip with us as we consider a looming future.
