CULTURE AND LANGUAGE REVITALIZATION

Reviving Tradition: Bannock-Making Workshops

In many Indigenous communities, the loss of traditional teachings and ways of life has been deeply felt across generations.

Indigenous peoples have experienced a disconnection from their heritage and traditions. One such tradition, the making of Bannock (or fry bread), holds significant cultural meaning among Indigenous families.

Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples in Edmonton, Alberta recognizes the importance of preserving this tradition and fostering connections within the community. The church will be hosting workshops dedicated to teaching making fry, baked, and deep-fried bannock. 

Funding provided by the IRF will support these workshops, covering expenses such as teacher honorariums, space rentals, and all necessary materials and ingredients. Through hands-on learning experiences, participants will have the opportunity to engage in the communal spirit of bannock-making.

Gathering together to make bannock fosters healing and uplifts spirits within the community. As participants learn and share in this traditional practice, they strengthen bonds and celebrate the rich cultural heritage that unites them.
