"I hope that, through my quilting, I have been able to make a positive and significant contribution to people's understanding of Anishinaabe ways and how we see Life, for in the end, this is the only way the Earth and all life can be saved."

"Not far from my home at Curve Lake First Nation is a spot sacred to our people. Several generations ago, Anishinaabeg came to the area and left sacred drawings on the soft rock. The bright yellow fabric with the black markings reminds me of the life-giver, the sun, shining down on the petroglyphs."
