MODERN DAY WARRIORS

‘Modern Day Warriors’ was inspired by a meme I saw actually that made me think about all the strong Indigenous women like you who are not only taking up space in places where our ancestors never could but they are trailblazing paths and making waves. Our Indigenous women are such strong warriors. They endure some of the worst treatment in this life yet they are still leading the way for us all. - KENDRA ROSYCHUK

We acknowledge we are on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We thank them for having cared for these lands and waters since time out of mind.

We’re fighting a modern day battle.

We stay rooted in our culture and ceremonies.

We learn how to navigate the ways of the western world.

We work to maintain balance.

We’re fighting a modern day battle.

We leave our community to pursue our dreams in the city.

We represent our families.

We carry nations on our backs.
