Wiigwaas
2023, oil on canvas, 10" x 20"
In Ojibwe culture, wiigwaas, Birch bark, is regarded as an essential material for life. Birch bark gathering in late June and early July is a long time tradition of Ojibwe people in the great lakes region. Birch is one of the most important resources of the people and it was used for every day survival. Essential for making dwellings, making containers, cooking, gathering water, making canoes, and in burials, the bark of the birch tree is versatile and beautiful. It is still essential to the Ojibwe people today.
