NOTES
Story for paintings: It is a privilege and honor to give a voice to our animal relations. The vision was inspired by the intricate relationships that all of creation has with each other. All these things are interconnected. Our own survival is dependant on proper management of the earths resources. The spirit of Mother Earth knows this. As we trudge the road of future destiny, we must realize that in order to continue moving forward as a human species, we must look after all aspects of creation much better. We live in a time where every action has significant reaction. The safe guarding of the natural resources are our duty to not only look after for our current generation, but indeed for future generations. We must take this lead. Creation is patiently waiting for our collective response. The time is now. Our ties that bind with the animal kingdom are surely on guard. The spirits of our ancestry are keen to see change. We have a responsibility to our selves, to one another and to the spirit of life itself. These animal clans are waiting, their own survival depends on us. The elements are changing, they are speaking in signs and symbols. These paintings are my way to honor them, to honor our Mother Earth and our sacred connections to the changing rhythms of the sun and moon. Chi-meegwetch and all my relations, MAJ
