A local artist will be telling the story of the Metis throughout the region.
Erin Stagg’s exhibition “Otipemisewak: The People Who Own Themselves,” was previously on display at Two Rivers Art Gallery.
“Growing up in this area, I was never exposed to Metis stories, I didn’t know what it meant to be Metis. There was a stigma to being Metis that stopped our stories from being passed down,” Stagg said.
“This collection brings the stories of my family history to light and celebrates them in a loving way. My hope is that other Metis people might find a sense of kinship and love for their own family stories.”
The exhibit will travel throughout the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George until November:
- Mackenzie Community Arts Centre: June 22nd to July 30th
- Valemount Museum and Archive: August 15th to September 26th
- Valley Museum and Archives: October 17th to November 17th
