A land-based installation of ceramic turtle shells to encourage participants to foster a meaningful relationship with the land. The humble turtle lives on water and land and is considered by my Anishinaabe relatives as a teacher of truth. My understanding of this teaching; is to walk the path of truth, you need to be a good relative to everything in the universe. That includes relationships with animals, insects, plants, fish, land, water, etc. Fostering these relationships or kinships means that you become invested in the health and welfare of these relatives, which equates to a healthier Earth for all. Dr. Alex Wilson, Opaskwayak Cree Nation, discusses the value of land-based learning and fostering kinship to understand better "our place within, and our responsibility to, the wider universe." By inserting ourselves into the larger picture, we can advocate for the health and welfare of the world around us. These turtle shells are a reminder of how humans can live in harmony with the environment. Since the theme this year is the bison, I placed the turtles in the formation of the WFF's logo of the bison. Click on the link and you will hear the song about Mashkode bizhiki na gh (Anshinaabe word for bison).
