Abstract

"First Nations people have long cherished the gifts of storytelling and visual arts. And, as the world evolves, First Nation artists are choose to capture modern day perspectives in forms that echo traditional methods of expression.

MFNERC's Grassroots Anthology is a celebration of these perspectives told in stories, poems, paintings and photographs. Each of the contributors is budding talent in Manitoba, and MFNERC is honoured to present their work as a source of inspiration for younger generations.

It is the act of sharing between generations that is key to encouraging learning and helping it flourish. So, MFNERC offers you this gift as a tool for you own learning, whether that's in the classroom, boardroom or living room."
