Mi’kmaw Art by Melissa White

I am from Sipekne’katik, NS.

My art serves as a visual narrative of my teachings. I aspire to ignite a passion for cultural learning in others, fostering conversations about tradition, honor, and respect.

“I want to share the story of resilience for my people. I aim to highlight our beautiful way of life, the values we uphold, while also raising awareness of the injustices my people face. Understanding our history underscores the importance of passing knowledge to the next seven generation”.

Wela’lin, Melissa White
