The Musée Amérindien Mashteuiatsh presents Ilnushkueuatsh tipelimitishuatsh / Place aux Femmes Ilnuatsh: Exhibition of works created as part of a re-appropriation process of the ancestral territory.

Come and see the works created by the participants of the Ilnushkueuatsh tipelimitishuatsh / Place aux femmes Ilnuatsh program of the Puakuteu Women’s Committee!

On February 3, the brand new exhibition “Otanisa, Un Patrimoine Familiale Mère-Fille” (a mother-daughter family heritage) by artists Germaine Dubé Courtois, Amélie Courtois, Océane Boivin and Maya Boivin will be presented. Three generations come together around creation. Inspired by their stories and family memories, the artists present healing works shaped by traditional teachings and symbolism in the form of braids, embroidery and modelled clay.

This exhibit was produced as part of the Mémoires de Femmes project, where participants made healing skirts in memory of women, girls and members of sexual diversity who’ve been missing or murdered. Skirts are the sacred symbol of femininity and pride for First Nations, while the color red represents the healing that the women of Puakuteu – Comité de Femmes de Mashteuiatsh wish to share with all First Nations and Indigenous peoples of Canada.
