Join Native Movement, The MMIWG2S Alaska Working Group, and OutNorth for the Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) craft gathering!The events will be held on October 23, 2024, and it will be located at Z.J. Loussac Library, 3600 Denali St, Anchorage, AK 99503.
Dia de Muertos is a time when families gather to honor and remember deceased loved ones.
This is a great opportunity to remember and celebrate the memory of the loved ones, and the Missing and Murdered that are no longer with us. We can show them respect by gathering and practicing this tradition together.
We will be making tissue paper marigolds for community members to use to decorate their ofrendas. Marigolds are thought to attract the souls of the dead to the ofrendas prepared for them. Families will often scatter marigold petals forming a path from their front doors to the ofrenda waiting within the home.
We’ll provide free materials! This is a wonderful opportunity to learn, share stories, and come together as a community to heal and celebrate.
