This mosaic kit series has been designed and created in partnership with Montet Designs and Tribal Fusion Art, where glass art meets Indigenous culture on the south shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. From ancestral roots to modern mosaics — women-owned Tribal Fusion Art and Montet Designs unite in cultural and creative sisterhood.
In Canada, Indigenous refers to three distinct groups of people – First Nation, Inuit, and Metis. These are the original inhabitants of the land that is now Canada.
The Seven Grandfather teachings are guiding principles of many Indigenous Nations throughout Turtle Island (North America). Though traditional teachings may differ from Nation to Nation, the concepts / values are similar.
This traditional knowledge was gathered from the teachings of Anishinaabe, Anisininew, and Mi’kmaw Elders we have learned from.
Turtle (TRUTH)
Mehkehnak (Anishinaabe / Anisininew), Mikjikj (Mi’kmaq)
Turtle represents TRUTH. Turtle reminds us to be faithful to fact and reality, and sincere in action and character. North America is referred to as Turtle Island. Many Nations carry stories about how the world was created on the back of Turtle. To learn more about the 7 Grandfather Teachings please visit Tribal Fusion Art's website HERE
