You are warmly invited to the opening reception for Len Cardinal.
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Len Cardinal and I am apart of "Treaty 6" traditional lands and territory as well as been a member of the Saddle Lake Cree Nation #125.
I wanted to show a different narrative about my personal journey through healing and self recognition of who I am as an indigenous person, of who we are as people and why we belong in today's society. Nehiyawak - meaning "people." I wanted to underscore the interconnectiveness of a way of life and show our people's side of pride, their spirit, strength of identity through my paintings.
We have come a long way from the days of when our ancestors were nomadic, and moving camps for various reasons. As I continue to grow in my understanding of indigenous traditions and our connections to the land, it has impacted my life in a good way. I may not tell stories but I wanted to express a record of a souls journey.
