Cultural Program
The cultural program at Native Montreal consists of our craft workshops and circles, traditional workshops and seasonal events such as our fall, winter and spring festivals, as well as our National Indigenous Peoples' Day celebrations.
Craft Workshops
Our weekly Craft Workshops allow individuals to explore, reconnect, exchange knowledge and learn different indigenous artistic techniques such as embroidery, beadwork, leatherwork, etc. Native Montreal provides materials and projects. Participants need no level of expertise, just an open mind and a willingness to listen, watch and learn.
This activity is free of charge and by registration only.
Workshops are held every Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the center.
To register for the weekly workshop, you must first be a member of Native Montreal, reside in the greater Montreal area, and fill out the monthly sign-up form (see button below).
Please note that priority of registration will be given to our Indigenous members.
For any cancellations, please notify us in advance by emailing culture@nativemontreal.com, calling us at (514) 331-6587 ext. 204 or sending us a message on Facebook to Culture Native Montreal Autochtone.
As these spaces are limited and in high demand, we request that you only register for workshops you intend to attend. Failure to attend without prior notice may result in automatic placement on the waiting list for future workshops.
*Please note that the registration form for next month’s Craft Workshops will only be made available the day after the last workshop of the current month ends.
Traditional workshops
Our traditional craft workshops enable individuals to explore, reconnect, exchange knowledge and learn different traditional crafts such as skirt making, ribbon shirt making, drum making, moccasin making and more. Native Montreal supplies the materials and proposes the projects.
This activity is free, by registration only, and is reserved for our Indigenous members.
Traditional workshops are held twice a month on weekends. Times vary from workshop to workshop.

Native Montreal provides circle participants with materials for beading, embroidery, sewing and more or you can bring your own!
