Winnipeg students collaborating on quilt in honour of MMIWG2S

  WINNIPEG A Winnipeg high school is stitching together stories in honour of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit people. Students at Dakota Collegiate Institute in the Louis Riel School Division will each create a square with an image on it for a quilt as part of the ‘Stitching and Story’ project. The idea was inspired by artist and educator Victoria McIntosh’s tale of her grandmother creating ‘crumb quilts.’ “Her grandmother would tell stories while quilting,” said teacher Shawna McLeod. “So, this was a time of creation, but also storytelling.” Students are sewing together their own quilt made up of squares depicting what makes them feel safe.
