Kwe! Dear Friends and Community Members,
We are pleased to invite you to the Grand Opening of utékaʔ uteyamę:ratih/Fire Over Water, a visual installation by Wyandot artist and Faith Keeper Catherine Taǫmęˀšreˀ Tàmmaro, inspired by the collaborative Daughters of Aataentsic History Project. This will be the final book launch in a series of launches that began in March 2021.
Focused on Wendat/Wyandot women and their connection to the Ancestors, the lands and waters, the Great Mystery, our kin in the Natural World and our precious relationships to each other across the Wendat Confederacy, this exhibit will offer insight into our dispersal, placemaking, placekeeping, Motherwork, our Narratives and more, in a multi-media presentation.
The installation will open to the public at dusk (approximately) on Saturday, June 18th 2022 @ Crawford Lake Conservation Area, in the Deer Clan Longhouse.
We hope to see you there!
Supported by: Dr. Kathryn Magee Labelle (SSHRC); The Toronto Arts Council; Brenna Bartley (Halton Conservation Area); Evergreen Brickworks; Wyandot Faith Keepers and associates; volunteers; and the Spirits of the Lake.
ABOUT THE BOOK
A groundbreaking project recounting the life stories of seven significant Wendat/Wandat women across North America.
Daughters of Aataentsic highlights and connects the unique lives of seven Wendat/Wandat women whose legacies are still felt today. Spanning the continent and the colonial borders of New France, British North America, Canada, and the United States, this book shows how Wendat people and place came together in Ontario, Quebec, Michigan, Ohio, Kansas, and Oklahoma, and how generations of activism became intimately tied with notions of family, community, motherwork, and legacy from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century. The lives of the seven women tell a story of individual and community triumph despite difficulties and great loss.
