Winnipeg - August 19, 2026 - Experience the vibrant tapestry of Indigenous culture and artistry this Saturday at Roots and Reconciliation: An Indigenous Artisan Market, happening at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR). The market will feature exquisite beadwork, carvings, textiles, and more — each piece telling a unique story of tradition, resilience and cultural pride.

The event is this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Entry to the market, on Level 1 of the Museum, is free and open to the public. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet talented Indigenous artisans, learn about their creative processes, and purchase one‐of‐a‐kind handcrafted items. Vendors include Ogichidaa’kwe Creations, Borealis Beading, Dotter of the Earth, Bead Diva Inc., and more!

“This market is more than a space to buy beautiful items — it’s a celebration of Indigenous stories, skills and community,” said Angeliki Bogiatji, Manager of Public and Indigenous Programming at the CMHR. “By supporting Indigenous artisans, we help preserve vital cultural traditions and promote economic reconciliation.”

The Indigenous Artisan Market is an example of creating pathways for Indigenous small businesses to thrive while maintaining cultural integrity.
