Nokomis Teachings from the Grandmothers of Georgina Island First Nation (2024) by Nish/Alicia BC @ready.set.skoden
Representing the Seven Nokomis Teachings that were created in collaboration with a handful of Grandmothers from the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation (GIFN). Deanna BigCanoe, a member of the GIFN community, collected terms and meanings in December of 2023 and put them on a poster that now hangs in the GIFN’s new Biindigen Wellness Centre.
With her permission, Artist Alicia BC brought these teachings to Roncesvalles Village, sharing pieces of the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation community with the vibrant and flourishing Toronto neighbourhood.
