“Hold fast to your ancestral greatness, to honour, to generosity, bury resentment and fear. Know that the truer you are to yourselves, the more certain you will be able to retain your birthright and add to the strength and the purity of the metal that shall come from the fire.”

Was honoured last Autumn to assist as a consultant to Bonnie Devine, in her incredible installation at the McMichael Gallery honourg the Carrying Place Trail and Wendat Effigy pipes.
With Dominic Ste. Marie and Elder Shelley Charles.
My clan is depicted on the wall of that space which felt so honouring of the Wyandot People..
as well as Dominic and Shelley’s clans. A gracious gesture. The Mural is on display.
We also participated in a panel facilitated by the artist, which was a heart moving experience.
Please see promotional material below. With thanks to Bonnie Devine and the McMichael Gallery of Canadian Art.
