Don’t forget Me, “Mukk-aqanta’sualiq” print by Jenny Brake, Donated by the Qalipu Cultural Foundation

Beaded earrings by Jenny Brake

Jenny Brake is a Mi’kmaq artist and strong empowered Indigenous woman who is originally from the Bay of Islands (Elmastukwek), currently residing in Corner Brook with her son, Jhoni and her two beautiful daughters, Mya and Ivy. It is important for Jenny to tell the stories of the Indigenous women of the province and beyond, honouring those women that we have lost and also acknowledging those that are still struggling.

“Don’t forget Me”, translating to “Mukk-aqanta’sualiq” in Mi’kmaq, is a representation of both the history and the present day of Indigenous women.

According to Jenny, her painting can be interpreted in the following way:

“The women in the circle represent the women that our community has lost and the women that are still enduring violence.  

The medicine wheel is a universal tool for Indigenous people and the teachings of each of the four directions. The women surround the medicine wheel to show combined strength and shared experiences, their colors represent their stories.

Just like the sweetgrass, braided, they are stronger and more resilient.  The spirits of the women cannot be broken or their stories forgotten.”

Value: $100
