🔴 About 🔴

Rita Kompst was born and raised in Musqueam. Her late father, Joe Becker, a former Musqueam Chief, was mainly a carver and a fisherman. Rita started cedar weaving once her father passed as per her cultural teachings. She experienced several personal losses over the next seven years and continued weaving on her healing journey. Her mentor, Todd Devries encouraged her to begin teaching cedar weaving several years ago and now she teaches cedar weaving full-time.
