- Courtnee Osawabine

 

“The grandmothers sitting at the four corners represent the four colours of the human race. I see the powerful forces of the four directions coming in by powerful whirlwinds.”

- Lorraine Bebamikawe

 
 
 

“I think about how far we’ve come from the impacts of residential schools and how much further we have to go.”

“We are so focused on our own goals and especially our own problems that we mistakenly believe we don’t have time to help our communities, help others with their challenges, or even attempt to repair some of the damage we’ve done to the Earth that sustains us.”

- Samantha Lynn Brennan
