Do you work for a tribe, nonprofit, corporation, school, university, cultural center, health organization, or other entity that has access to grant funding?

Have you been looking for educational, cultural, traditional arts, mental health, healing, wellness, or team-building activities for your community?

Sew Yup'ik offers qaspeq workshops, fish skin sewing workshops, nasqurrun (headdress) workshops, beading classes, and other traditional sewing opportunities throughout Alaska.

One of the best ways to host a Sew Yup'ik workshop is through grant funding. Many organizations are able to use grant funds to cover instructor fees, travel, materials, and other workshop expenses. This often allows participants to attend at no cost or for a very small registration fee.

My workshops have been hosted through cultural revitalization grants, behavioral health programs, youth programs, wellness initiatives, educational grants, and community development funding.

Workshops can support:
• Cultural preservation
• Traditional knowledge sharing
• Mental health and wellness
• Healing and resilience
• Youth engagement
• Community building
• Team building
• Intergenerational learning

If your organization is interested in bringing a Sew Yup'ik workshop to your community, please email me at [email protected] for more information.

Quyana for helping keep our traditions strong through hands-on learning.

Hi everyone! 👋

I am looking to teach seal skin earring-making workshops and would love to connect with organizations, schools, businesses, tribes and native corporations interested in learning.

✨ Is your company looking for a unique team-building activity?

✨ Are you looking for ways to engage your community through hands-on cultural learning?

✨ Do you have students who are interested in skin sewing but would like to start with a smaller project first?

I assemble the kits ahead of time for a smooth and enjoyable workshop experience, and I am willing to travel to your location.

📧 Contact me for a quote or to discuss bringing a workshop to your community!

✨ Connecting to our roots, one stitch at a time. My hands were made to work hard, and so are yours. ✨

Please feel free to share my post because I want it to reach everybody 😅🫶

I just want to say a big thank you to my new friend Jerica Niayuq Leavitt - the Associate Professor of Iñupiaq Studies at Iḷisaġvik College for allowing me to come into your classroom and teach your summer camp students. What a great first bunch of participants for sure ❤️

I feel like it’s been a long time coming from just a thought in my head to getting out of my comfort zone to put myself out there. There are many many many of our people that are eager to learn, we can all do our part and pass along what we know, to keep our traditions alive ✨

I am looking to book some seal skin earring making workshops for the fall and winter time! The best way to contact me is through email: [email protected]. My schedule is pretty limited and I would like to plan in advance to make sure I can gather all of the materials.

Sharing my rock garden ✨ started off with 4 tiny plants and and it’s slowly branching off. Arctic Raspberries. I had them planted in a garden box last year and they stayed alive but didn’t produce berries - but when I planted them in the ground - they LOVE it here.

What are you growing??

Peep some volunteer fireweed shoots 🌸🌱
