Wakan Tipi Center To Host Cradleboard Workshop For Native Caregivers
Participants will learn to build a full-size cradleboard and receive instruction on safe sleep practices during a two-day workshop in St. Paul
The Wakan Tipi Center will host a two-day Chuwic'inpa Cradleboard Workshop on June 27-28 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Wakan Tipi Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, according to workshop information provided by organizers. Participants will learn how to craft a full-size cradleboard, described in the workshop materials as a traditional baby carrier, and will receive demonstrations on safe sleep techniques and how to properly use the cradleboard.
According to the event information, participants are encouraged to bring a supportive relative to assist with assembly and learning. New or expecting Native caregivers and parents who can attend both days will be prioritized. Due to limited space, organizers said participants will be notified if they are registered for the workshop. Accessibility requests must be submitted by June 18.
