Talking stick workshop

Activity
Bâton de la parole, tradition, autochtone - Musée huron-wendat

Knowledge transmission is of great importance among First Nations. Our facilitators are specially trained by community artisans to share this knowledge with you, allowing you to create your own craft piece as a unique testament to your visit.

Daily, the creation of a talking stick is available to all. For group reservations, offer your guests the opportunity to make a corn husk doll they can take home to commemorate their experience. Keep an eye on our Holiday Season and Spring Break schedules, as traditional activities may be added!

Talking Stick
