Anishnabe

Anishinaabe/Wyandot

April 14, 2021 PennElyz Droz shared with the AIVAN group about how she crafts clothing and art to connect her and her family to their Anishnaabe roots. PennElyz reflected that art and medicine keep her connected to her ancestors, provide her strength, and remind her what to carry on for her children. She also explained how practicing Native art, values, and storytelling all connects Indigenous peoples across regions with one another, and also helps us care for the environment.
