Artist Statement
Inspired by the annual gathering of ocean-going canoes through Tribal Journeys, Pulling Together, created by Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw artist Lou-ann Neel, is intended to represent the connections each of us has to our respective Nations and to one another as we Pull Together. Working toward our common visions, we move forward in sync so we can continue to build and manifest strong, healthy communities with foundations rooted in our ancient ways.
Thank you to all of the writers and contributors to the guides. We asked writers to share a phrase from their Indigenous languages on paddling or pulling together…
