Lethbridge market showcases Indigenous-made products, culture
It takes Melvina three days to make Napi.
“As a woman, a native woman, this is very important to showcase our work. We feel fortunate to be able to show people what we do in our spare time,” she said.According to Kristen Krein, the organizer of the Indigenous Makers Market, until last year there were no opportunities for Indigenous creatives in southern Alberta to sell or showcase their products. However, they’ve quickly become popular events with multiple markets now taking place at different locations.
“It’s nice to be able to have a space to have Indigenous art from Indigenous makers so you know who you’re supporting,” Krein said. “You know this is something that is authentic and you know you’re supporting an actual individual.”“Any venue that we can set up, I would look forward to showcasing our work and hopefully teach some people about our culture,” Melvina said.
