Art to spark awareness of MMIWG2S+

Staff writer kkellar@fortfrances.com A new art installation in the area is aiming to spark conversation and awareness around an important social issue. In a partnership between Binesiwag Centre for Wellness and Seven Generations Education Institute (SGEI), a large piece of art in the form of a traditional jingle dancer is being installed on the grounds of SGEI’s Fort Frances campus and will remain there for the rest of the month, hopefully inspiring those who pass by to ask questions and further their understanding of the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit (MMIWG2S+) individuals in Canada.

Built so that representatives from area tribal nations not foundation staff decide who is awarded money, Maada ookiing translates to distribution in Ojibwe. Grants of up to $2,500 will be awarded three times a year to individuals or informal groups starting May 1. The idea is to award grassroots efforts as opposed to nonprofits and ensure that proposals are viewed from an Indigenous perspective. This first round, $25,000 has been set aside to award to people within the foundation s service area.
