“I feel compelled not only to celebrate but to dissect and explore my Mi'kmaq heritage, how it relates to the settler culture and how the two cultures, of which I am a part, interact and affect each other.”
- Jerry Evans, a Mi’kmaq artist based in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
His visual art is represented in collections across Canada and the world, working with local artists and organizations to keep the passion and heritage alive.
