Thank you to the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh for looking after your lands forever and still doing so, and for my showing in your territories! My work is a northern style, but I do have Coast Salish ancestry through my mum's mum. A beautiful ancestry and deep rooted stories. This art is centered around the Bear Mother Story, her coming back home to her community. Many of us Indigenous peoples are in various stages of getting back to our roots, in the process of decolonization. Some have deeper roots in their cultures than others, and I hope we can come to a place where we can accept those varying levels of coming back to. Our cultures are alive. We are here. Thank you to the city for taking steps to further relationships.
