The artworks depict the story of Christ’s presence being amongst First Peoples
of these lands of his creation for generation. His teachings have been long been
displayed within the stories, songs, dances and ceremony First Peoples have used them
to connect with God as great Creator and teacher for our communities.
We, as First Peoples mourn the heartbreaking inequities our past and present
generations have and continue to suffer, and we seek to create new ways into a light
filled future, by fully claiming the promises Jesus has made to us. We hold deep sorrow
for what has been lost forever, and pray that the souls of those who have come before
us, know the peace of our Lord, amongst their heavenly home. As a young Aboriginal
woman, I show my honour for the sacrifices and heartbreak of my Elders, by seeking
to grasp with both hands, all of the opportunities that have been hard fought for my
benefit. I seek to know, and be comforted by the light of Jesus, and to let that light
shine into the darkness of our daily struggles and suffering.
