This community art project introduces participants to a story of living with heart, and encourages each person to seek their own personal or community stories which might relate to the pursuit of Truth and Reconciliation, and to reconnect with their Indigenous roots.  

Working with our hands we will create a figure together which may act a template for further community-based projects and inspire place-based art pieces that will involve local stories, artists, youth, and Elders. The tangible process of making opens space for vulnerability, conversation, and connection.

Where peoples everywhere have lost some vital traditions and teachings they have also kept alive something which can help or inspire others, and might not realize how precious these teachings will be to us all in these troubled times.
