Facilitator Bio: Courtney Kirkness is a mixed Nēhiyaw artist raised in Treaty 4 with maternal ties to Peguis First Nation, MB. Her beadwork journey began after she took an Indigenous Arts class at the First Nations University, followed by her participation in beadwork programs offered through the Regina Public Library. Courtney has since started her own business focusing on a wide variety of projects, including necklaces, medallions, earrings, and more. Through beading, Courtney has been able to reconnect with culture, which has been an important part of her healing journey. As she has grown in her practice, she strides to share her knowledge with anyone interested.
