Shawl House
ᐊᑲᐧᓇᐦᐅᐣ AKWANAHON PROTECT
The women’s fancy shawl dance represents the opening of a cocoon when the butterfly emerges. The shawl is usually the most extravagant piece. The fringed shawls are colorful and flashy, often featuring embroidery or ribbon work. The fringe on the shawl has a movement that coincides with the dancer.
At the Shawl House, we believe you are a unique individual who will be respected, listened to, and cared for within our family. We value family ties, Indigenous Heritage, racial identity, cultural traditions, and religious beliefs. We are committed to working with you to meet your individual needs.
