Beading session turns deadly – just real deadly

A beading session in a Moose Hill First Nation, Manitoba home has turned deadly. But the good kind of deadly, not the other kind, witnesses say.

“My cousin Sarah and I were beading some medallions and it got really deadly,” said Alma Keewatin. 

“Just really deadly.”

It’s not the first time a beading session has turned deadly in the community of 679 people. In 2017, an all night beading session also resulted in a string of real deadly rosettes while a much-publicized 2018 sewing session resulted in six deadly ribbon skirts.
