Cover illustration: Maashkowishiiw She is strong, Sherry Farrell Racette, 2015, acrylic on canvas. A story painted from a story told of a story heard − a child’s memory through an elder’s voice − a woman’s courage as she faces aggressive men who threaten her family. She flees up into the hills and watches as her house burns. She makes her way to Manitoba where she rebuilds and raises her children. Not a victim. A warrior-mother. This painting is from the project From Here: Story Gatherings from Regina and the Qu’Appelle Valley, a series of paintings based on conversations with Métis elders, commissioned by the Gabriel Dumont Institute.
