“Most of our visual artwork focuses on the power of Mother Earth, which is why it is called Uprising The Power of Mother Earth,” says Belcourt, a Michif (Métis) visual artist and lead coordinator of the Walking With Our Sisters project. “We’re at a time where we are facing abrupt climate change and the Earth has already warmed significantly. All the scientists and Indigenous leaders and Elders have been pointing to this for a long time saying that we need to change. We need to get off fossil fuels — the warming of the Earth is threatening the existence of all living species.”
