“Mother and Daughter” is a celebrated, heartfelt painting by Cree artist Betty Albert that explores the sacred bond, lineage, and spiritual connection between generations. Distributed widely across North America as part of The Indigenous Collection and available through galleries like Whetung Ojibwa Centre, this piece is deeply rooted in the artist's personal journey of cultural reclaiming and Cree traditions. 🎨 Visual Description & Artistic Style • Faceless Figures: A hallmark of this artwork—and much of Albert's portfolio—is that the figures are depicted without facial features. Albert has noted that the people who appear to her in her dreams are faceless, a phenomenon she translates directly onto her canvas. This stylistic choice allows the viewer to project their own relationships onto the canvas, turning it into a universal mirror of family connection. • Vibrant Acrylics & Nature Themes: Painted in vivid acrylic colors, the work often integrates moon imagery and fluid lines that mimic the natural world. The composition physically reflects an embrace, utilizing curved lines to signify comfort, safety, and an eternal maternal circle. • Focus on Women's Spirituality: The structure emphasizes the divine feminine, portraying women as the keepers of culture, life, and emotional lineage. 🌟 Deep Meaning & Cultural Significance • Intergenerational Guidance: The painting reflects the transfer of wisdom, love, and protection from a mother to her daughter. It acts as a visual representation of how traditions survive through time. • Reclaiming Identity: The artwork carries intense personal meaning for Albert. Adopted and raised by a French-Canadian family in Northern Ontario, she did not discover her birthright as a Cree woman until her early thirties. Reconnecting with her biological father, Lindbergh Louttit, sparked a spiritual awakening. "Mother and Daughter" encapsulates that profound sense of discovering one's roots, ancestral family, and true heritage

#Canada’s most favoured Premier, rose in the Legislature and was met by #Conservative #MLARedRiverNorth ridiculing #Indigenous people not being allowed to #vote in #Canada as late as 1960. Shame! #TruthAndReconcilation #DEI #EqualityForAll #CanadaStrong

Canada, the 51st state? ‘Over our dead bodies,’ say Indigenous leaders
First Nations aren’t taking Trump’s comments lightly, and say they have both international law and economic leverage on their side.

Stating they are ‘committed to reconciliation through education’ do they teach the real stories of SJAM?

The ceremony on Parliament Hill in Ottawa for #TruthandReconcilation and #OrangeShirtDay was very moving & profound. They walked the over 60 metre memorial cloth for all the children who didn't home home (over 4,000 names so far) through the crowd while Deedee Austin performed "Buried Truth".

Calgary Board of Education Retains Sir John A. Macdonald School Name John a Macdonald fact! MacDonald authorized the pass system, which required First Nations to obtain permission from their Indian agent to leave their reserve. His government also criminalized powwows and potlatches. Both policies would persist well into the 20th century.

The CFL initiatives for #TruthAndReconcilation are pretty cool. Canada (and the US, which barely acknowledges it) can never repay the moral debt of what happened in the residential schools, but acknowledging it and working with indigenous communities to get the message out is important.

I’m going to leave that up to Palestinians. It’s not even my place to suggest. All I know is that without Justice there can be no Peace. The path to a lasting peace has precedent. #FreePalestine #CeaseFire #TruthAndReconcilation

This action of unilaterally creating federal jurisdiction over Indigenous Peoples goes against treaties negotiated between Indigenous Nations and the Crown, who negotiated being inbeing in nation-to-nation relations with each other, not one nation controlling and subjugating others.
