Basket Weaving with Hwiemtun

Basket Weaving with Hwiemtun

Hwiemtun is from the unceded traditional territory of the Quw’utsun’ people on Vancouver Island. Born and raised in Khowutzun territory (the “Warm Land”) by a Coast Salish mother, Hwiemtun received many teachings of his Coast Salish culture. Through many years spent with Elders, he learned the cultural and spiritual traditions of his ancestors. He is also of Hawaiian lineage on his father’s side. For over 30 years, Hwiemtun has journeyed around the world to share and explore Indigenous ways of being with Elders and healers from many tribes. His connection to the spirit world, passion for storytelling, and dedication to sharing Indigenous knowledge have made him an intercultural teacher and guide. Hwiemtun uses oral history, music, and ceremony to nurture personal and collective transformation. He believes we are all related in some way, and that this understanding is key to achieving knowledge. He regularly conducts presentations, workshops, and ceremonies to promote awareness of Indigenous ways of knowing.
