Cost: free.

A new exhibition of works by three First Nations artists involved 
with Redwire Magazine.

2400 an Indian odyssey is a visioning of the future.  It is a path, a 
direction, a place that is safe for First Nations voices. It¹s about understanding 
about how First Nations people are affected by the colonial story of this 
land, and understanding how we are all affected by this story.  It¹s about 
understanding that our voices are living. It¹s about hearing a good story 
and laughing with a loud Indian belly laugh.

Featuring new works by Tania Willard, of the Secpwemec Nation and Gord Hill, from the 
Kwakiutl Nation, works visioning how First Nations people¹s identity, 
language, location, geography will change for the future.   We are not just 
what was collected in the past, this is just a small part of our story, now 
there is the present and the future that need to be taken in to consideration, 
a new place, new path and new directions.  

Also featuring a brand new performance piece by Skeena Reece, Tsimhian/Cree.


Crow says: ³the answers that you need are right here, with you, nowhere else. The 
voice that you need is right here with you, nowhere else.  The vision that you 
need is right here with you, nowhere else.²
