Nettle Rope Braiding with Elder Thelma Stogan

At this year’s Richmond Maritime Festival, we’re honored to have Musqueam Elder Thelma Stogan share her knowledge and skills in traditional nettle rope braiding, a technique historically used in crafting fishing nets. This cultural programming offers a unique opportunity to witness and learn from Thelma as she demonstrates these age-old methods, deeply rooted in the heritage of the Musqueam people. Join us to connect with the past and appreciate this remarkable artistry.
