I have been quilting since I was 9 years old. I have been using my gifts to help support our nations in healing after the trauma of the residential schools systems. I believe that we are given our talents and gifts to make a difference in our part of the world. We should our gifts to honour our ancestors, culture and traditions.
After starting Quilts for Survivors I have seen first hand how art can heal both the ones who are making it and those who receive it. I am blessed to be able to share my talents and gifts with others. Through classes, workshops and our sewing studio in Timmins.
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).
