Serene Weasel Traveller

My work incorporates my Blackfoot culture with my western worldview. I look for the balance between the world of a Blackfoot woman from the Piikani Nation, and a resident of Canada. I am integrating representations of colonialism with my traditional cultural practices, by combining the two different elements, overplaying the notion of a cultural hybrid. My work is a celebration of the adaptation, survival, and strength of all indigenous people. I pay special homage to the traditional Blackfoot territory, the land that has shaped and sustained the Blackfoot people from time and immemorial.
