A long winter can make you miss the feeling of the earth between your fingers. That's why CBC contributor Ann Paul found peace in a recent traditional pottery workshop.
Quinn Cloud, who’s been doing quillwork for four years, shows CBC contributor Ann Paul how sweet grass, bark and other harvested materials turn into embroidered flowers and birds.
This year's edition of the Canada Winter Games featured the addition of the sport of karate as well as two new events within existing sport categories: women's boxing and curling mixed doubles.
Unlike a powwow, the mid-winter celebration is a more subdued event, creating a feeling of peace. It's a time of year when Mother Earth is sleeping and people are in a "slow mode," and since people from the community aren't outside as much, it's a good opportunity to sit together inside and talk about the future.
