First Nations' Collective invites you to join Chief Brenda Gagne of the Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi for a meaningful workshop where you will create your own traditional medicine bag. Chief Gagne will guide you through the process and share the sacred medicines that are placed inside these powerful cultural items.

✨ Space is limited to 32 participants — please arrive early to secure your spot.
🙏 Please note: To respectfully handle the sacred medicines, attendees must be alcohol and drug-free for at least four days prior to the event.
