September 17: Debra Sparrow, "Weaving our History: Education through a Musqueam Lens" 

As part of the ongoing IRSI Speaker Series, we were delighted to present Debra Sparrow, Musqueam weaver, artist and educator. Like her woven patterns, Debra’s talk, “Weaving our History: Education through a Musqueam Lens”, was complex, creative, and delivered straight from her heart. She explored a wide array of topics—from the power in traditional artforms to the weight of words; the need for a collaborative approach to education and the importance of knowing ones heritage.
