National Ribbon Skirt Day Observed at North Lambton Secondary School!

On Monday, January 5, 2026, North Lambton Secondary School proudly observed National Ribbon Skirt Day with a day of cultural learning and creativity. Melissa Monague from Kettle and Stony Point First Nation visited the school to share the importance and cultural significance of ribbon skirts and ribbon shirts.

Eight classes participated in four engaging learning sessions, where students explored the traditions behind these garments and their role in Indigenous identity and storytelling. With guidance from Mel Shone and Rose Wolfe, students had the unique opportunity to design and create their own ribbon skirts and shirts, bringing the teachings to life through hands-on experience.

This event was a meaningful celebration of Indigenous culture and an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding and appreciation of these traditions.

National Ribbon Skirt Day is recognized by Canada on January 5th. Students were able to learn more about Ribbon Skirts on January 6th. Meliisa Monague brought in some of the Ribbon Skirts and shirts that she had made and discussed some of the traditions and culture behind them. Students in the school spent some of their free time at lunch before the holidays creating their own shirts and skirts.
