Wampum belts have been used by Haudenosaunee peoples for centuries as physical reminders of relationships and commitments between communities. Belts are beaded on a loom using designs to tell a story of that relationship. Residents are invited to take part in beading a community belt that represents what the North End neighborhood means to us. 

Haudenosaunee artist Kris Reppas will guide residents through the process of creating the belt. We ask residents to share their ideas for the design! Everyone is welcome and no experience required! 

March session – design the belt as a community. April and May sessions – learn how to bead and bead the belt.

Masks required at all sessions!
