Sacred Strong Indigenous Women’s Health Report
I am incredibly honoured to have created the cover artwork, dedication and poem for this important health report created by the First Nations Health Authority and the BC Provincial Health Officer’s Office.
Ancient forests know
How she can be in stillness
How she can grow and connect
Ancient forests know
Strength comes from living as one tree, each tree, all trees Ancient forests know
Ancestral roots connect her through time
Grounding, holding, inter-weaving
Her branches reach out, one palm up, one palm down
Ancient forests know
Each ring writes her story
Each pain, each lesson, each triumph
Growing steadily upwards until she touches the medicine of the moon And through the darkness, the moon gently reflects back her light And shows her the ebb and flow of life
Each child held in a mother’s love
Guided by Elders’ wisdom
And nourished by the sisters around her
Ancient forests know she is not alone.
