First Nations – Button Blankets

Last week we had a visit from Dawn in the Aboriginal Education program. She taught us all about button blankets. The students then had the opportunity to make their own button blankets using black and red felt, buttons, a needle and thread. Each student had a choice of creating a button blanket with a salmon, raven, wolf, eagle, owl and killer whale. Adult volunteers helped the students to thread their needles and sewing on the buttons.
