This year Aunty Collective Indigenous Creative Practice Gallery hosted knowledge keeper and creative Helen Pelletier with their stunning birch bark creations. Through ongoing and reciprocal relationship, Aunties Rhudey and Diane visited Fort Williams First Nation to attend their annual community hide camp. We are so honoured to host Hide Camp knowledge keepers Jean Marshall, Shelby Gagnon and Larrisa Speak, for an Indigenous knowledge sharing gathering on Sept 10-12 at Aunty Collective. We will work with Moosehide in all its forms.
