#RisingYouth grantee Carly
Chartier hosted a moccasin-
making workshop for her
community of Selkik, Manitoba.
Her project brought together
people from across generations
with participants ranging
from the ages of 20 to 55.
Every attendee learned new
skills and even completed
a finished product!
At the end of the five-day
workshop, all the participants
were able to wear a pair of hand-
made and hand-sewn moccasins!
" I learned that there needs
to be a voice for youth to be
able to lead. Even though I
was a lot younger than some
of the participants involved,
it was a good experience to
all who participated because
it showed that youth can
have skills that some elders
may not. And even though
I am not an elder, a youth
can keep traditions going."
