It’s the coming together of two different art forms while delivering the same important message of continued education and awareness. | SaltWire
RHGNS project organizer Debbie Tucker provided a bit of the background noting it started after the revelation of the 215 unmarked gravesites around the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in B.C. in May of 2021. Tucker said the guild’s reaction was “what can we do?”
“Forty-nine rug hookers then hooked 66 rugs from those designs that have now become the heart of the project,” Tucker said. “Moving forward, it is our sincere hope the project will provide opportunities for conversations, education and continued awareness as it honours the missing children and the survivors of residential schools.”
“So, at least now, I feel like the Mi’kmaw have more allies; there are a lot of people who think, yeah, this wasn't right. This is also part of the healing,” he said. “At least now people can maybe recognize that and say, ‘hey, maybe that's why he's on the streets … that is why he is struggling, maybe his mother was in residential school. A lot of those dysfunctions were, basically, taken back to the communities because these kids were snatched up from the ages of five years old until they were 18. So, yeah, it's a lot and a lot of our people never, never got past it. You know, a lot of them never found recovery … never found healing.
Guild member Tanya McNutt noted they first did a project with Mi’kmaw artists in 2017 called Hooked on Mi’kmaw Art.,” McNutt said. “They have been incredibly generous with their artwork, allowing us to replicate their art in our medium.” For more on RHGNS, visit their website at rhgns.com or Facebook page.
