An Initiative of CLM Outreach

The Red Feather Project

Visibility. Education. Reconnection. For our community, by our community.

The red feather is a symbol — of presence, of memory, of the people still here and the people we carry. The Red Feather Project lifts that symbol into action.

What We Do

Three pillars of the work

Visibility

Bringing Indigenous voices, art, and stories into spaces where they are too often missing.

Education

Teaching and lectures that honor cultural knowledge and pass it on with care.

Reconnection

Creating gathering points for Indigenous community members to return to tradition, to elders, and to one another.

Lectures & Talks

Knowledge shared is knowledge kept.

Volunteer speakers from Indigenous communities share history, lived experience, and cultural insight. These talks are designed to educate, connect, and create space for conversations that matter — for community members and allies alike.

  • Speakers from tribal nations sharing history and lived experience
  • Topics spanning culture, sovereignty, language, and modern obstacles
  • Open to the public — community members, students, and allies welcome

A Red Feather Initiative

Sovereign Threads Project

Traditional craft, in the hands of those who teach it. Lectures from those who carry the stories. Community, woven together.

Enrolling Instructors & Participants

Traditional Craft Workshops

Art as memory. Craft as teaching.

Hands-on sessions led by Indigenous artists — beadwork, regalia, ribbon work, and the crafts that carry our story forward. These workshops are open to the community and guided by those who have inherited the knowledge firsthand.

Community Programming

Growing the circle together.

Beyond workshops and lectures, Sovereign Threads hosts additional gatherings, learning days, and cultural events throughout the year — creating more touchpoints for the community to come together, celebrate, and reconnect. Open workshop time is available throughout the week, giving community members a relaxed space to drop in, work on their craft, learn from one another, and connect with our instructors.
