Etuaptmumk/Two Eyed Seeing Program (est. 2016)

Hello everyone! Thank you for supporting us on Twitter/X over the years. We’re moving to Bluesky and would love for you to join us there: bsky.app/profile/tespro…

We’ve officially started prepping for our big mural project! Today, our mentor Jessica Jerome taught us how to work with oil paints. It was such a fun and inspiring day, and we can’t wait to start painting on our large panels. Stay tuned for more updates!

Blueberries, bilberries, and serviceberries are starting to ripen! It’s a beautiful time to connect with the land and appreciate what it offers, while being mindful to take only what you need. Looking for a way to use your berries? Recipe here: msvu.ca/wp-content/upl…
