"Sisters" by Pam Cailloux
Pamela Cailloux was born in Chibougamau, Quebec. She is of Metis descent consisting of Huron and Algonquin heritage. Her artwork is heavily influenced by the teachings of the medicine wheel consisting of balance, seasons, elements, and harmony. Mother Earth is often represented in her works as an energy and spirit that is determined to heal and restore naturalorder. In her submission, she chose to represent two women from different Indigenous cultures embracing each other. In unity, Indigenous women have strength, learn skills, share stories, and give each other support. By choosing this design she was hoping to provoke thought about the divisions taking place by the different nations. She chose to not represent one Indigenous woman, instead opting to represent all Indigenous women who deserve respect and honour.
