Giniigaaniimenaaning
"The glass design tells a story. It is a story of Aboriginal people, with our ceremonies, languages, and cultural knowledge intact; through the darkness of the residential school era; to an awakening sounded by a drum; an apology that spoke to the heart; hope for reconciliation; transformation and healing through dance, ceremony, language; and resilience into the present day."
“....Reconciliation is not just one sided. It's not just us healing ourselves. Reconciliation means the two sides coming together.”
Walking with our Sisters
"This project is about these women, paying respect to their lives and existence on this earth. They are not forgotten. They are sisters, mothers, daughters, cousins, aunties, grandmothers, friends and wives. They have been cared for, they have been loved, and they are missing."
"Collectively we are creating one unified voice to honour these women, their families and call for attention to be paid to this issue. There is power in numbers, and there is power in art."

"For those who know me, they know how reluctant I am to accept awards. Because, while we rightly celebrate the achievements and compassionate work of my fellow recipients, for me, I do not feel my work is separate from the work of the hundreds and thousands of Indigenous Peoples and Nations who are doing work that brings health, healing or light to their communities and yet go unheralded."
