This is my first investigation into Canada's Aboriginal Peoples. My research for this show brought me face to face with the richness and depth of native culture and spiritualism. It is a rich vein to tap. Embracing the natural world and respecting all living things is not only a strong belief, but a reality for the First Nations.

Separating the people from the land physically and spiritually has been a cruel reality for our Aboriginal Peoples -- this too is part of the story and an ongoing exploration for me.
