From September 2016 to April 2017 I attended Langara Reconciliation Carving Cohort. This was my online journey- a collection of research, thoughts, feelings, work and anything that would aid me and others to help the next 7 generations.
Love what he has to say! They definitely need to make a movie about this and share this incredible story of how peaceful warriors overcame horrific odds.
Obviously the fossil fuels fight will continue but the strength demonstrated by the Water Protectors is hugely inspirational and a sign that we will win this. We have to win, we have to do it for our children and children's children. #WaterIsLife

Congratulations! Thank you for all your courage, bravery and commitment.
We've been at the along time already, ...there's too much at stake...we will do what it takes!!
We must protect our children and their children's children. 7 generations, we have to think about the future, not the money and the moment. Mother Earth is in trouble, she needs our help. It's that simple.
Stewart Phillip, Grand Chief of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs, says Carr's remarks Wednesday to an audience in Calgary were "stupid, stupid, stupid."
"I think it was an incredibly stupid and clumsy statement to make in an already volatile situation, [on] a deeply emotional issue here in British Columbia. And it's just absolutely senseless, counter-productive and unhelpful," Phillip said in an interview with Evan Solomon, host of CTV's Question Period.
Reconciliation Carving Cohort : A visit to the Lattimer Gallery
Last class for the semester and as a treat Aaron Nelson Moody invited us all to go to the Lattimer Gallery http://www.lattimergallery.com/ where Peter was our gracious host.
We got to see the Charity Bentwood Boxes
From the website:
Join us for the final night of bidding for our
Annual Charity Bentwood Boxes event. Artists will be in attendance,
refreshments will be served, and you will be able to witness the frenzy
of the last minute bids on these amazing steam-bent boxes.
Lattimer Gallery has the unique, warm atmosphere of a Northwest
Longhouse. We offer a fascinating display of gold and silver jewellery,
argillite carvings, soapstone sculptures, bentwood boxes, masks, totem
poles, and much more. In our "longhouse" we also feature a large
selection of original paintings and limited edition prints by many well
known Native artists. We want you to be swept away by the selection and
quality of art that we house here at Lattimer Gallery.
With Aaron Nelson Moody's help I have made some GREAT tools and I am GRATEFUL!!
Thank you Aaron.
The truth is I thought I was going to get some funding to help with tools, but there was none...and GOOD THING Aaron taught us how to MAKE OUR OWN because I am truly AMAZED with what I have learned and what I have actually been able to create with them.
That said, Aaron is great at sharpening...me...not so good and sharpening is a big part so that is something I still must conquer.
Anyways, I wanted to share with you a few photos and videos.
