Growing up in Peawanuck, Ontario, I faced intergenerational trauma, addiction, and depression. Moving across Northern Ontario, I struggled academically but gained awareness through adversity. Over the years, I began to recognize the deeper patterns and paradigms in my life. Loss and stress shaped my path, leading me to creative expression. Photography became my way to heal, connect, and capture the resilience of life through my lens.
Our mission is to foster connection, opportunity, and knowledge-sharing for those who create (Oshichikesiwuk). In doing so, we empower the voices of Mushkegowuk Cree to express the sacred connection between our people, water, land, and all our relations.
We envision a future where the voices of Omushkegowuk creators (Oshichikesiwuk) are empowered and valued, ensuring a legacy of harmony between culture and sustainability that resonates through generations connected to the James Bay Coast (Nanipek).
