​Ogema: I am Woman centers matriarchal modes of seeing and being: representations of First Nations  as seen and created by female artists Indigenous to North America. The exhibition is at once a celebration and testimony that makes visible  Indigenous accomplishments with a focus on positive and constructive counteractions against the colonial violence Indigenous people, and specifically Indigenous women, have endured. This exhibition will establish the role of Indigenous women in decolonization as first and foremost self-determined, as well as raise questions surrounding decolonial theories in the contexts of both art and politics, using the act of creation as a political performance.

Contemplated by former Prime Minister, Honourable Paul Martin, THE MASSACRE PAINTING Acrylic on canvas 58 x 72 2012, A metaphor of all massacres afflicted on Indigenous people in colonial history. In Paris in 2010 I saw the exhibition Crime et Châtiment (Crime and Punishment) at Musée d'Orsay. I began to reflect on what I knew to be a crime, Genocide. What was the punishment for this crime to my nation, to other nations, to Indigenous people in colonial history in our homelands. From the exhibition INDIGENESSE, Aurora Culturual Centre.
