Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we would like to take a moment to announce Sabrina from @miskominmanidoomin as our artist for our Orange Shirt Campaign this fall!

Sabrina Fontaine is an Ojibwe beadwork artist, illustrator, and activist from Garden River Reservations and currently resides on Askunessippi (Antler River) in London, Ontario, but loves visiting us this way to canoe on the Odoonabii-ziibi in Nogojiwanong.

Sabrina owns and operates Miskomin Manidoomin, a small beadwork and art shop. Her work focuses on celebrating the natural world, blending traditional practices with modern art styles, and shining light on generational, systemic injustices faces by many Indigenous peoples.

Trent students and community members will be able to submit drawings and artwork to be transformed into prints, stickers, and patches for solidarity as part of our Orange Shirt campaign. All proceeds from product sales will be donated to local Indigenous organizations at the discretion of the Elders Council.
