Description
<p>
<em>Resilience</em> is the third colouring book made up of works by Anishnaabe artist Jackie Traverse. As with her previous highly successful colouring books, <a href=”https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/sacred-feminine”>
<em>Sacred Feminine</em>
</a> and <a href=”https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/ikwe”>
<em>IKWE</em>
</a>, this new book contains both drawings and paintings by Jackie. <em>Resilience</em> honours the Indigenous Peoples who were colonized by and endured the violence of Canada’s child stealing systems — residential schools, the Sixties Scoop and child “welfare.” Some Indigenous people survived those systems; tragically, some did not. Jackie and her art pay tribute to and celebrate the resilience of Indigenous Peoples as they rebuild their communities and lives. Grassroots grandmother Geraldine (Gramma) Shingoose provides a foreword.</p>
