Rupertsland Institute presents Shakamohta, a student-led podcast exploring the way in which Métis people are excelling in a variety of fields.  Today's episode is all about art. Hosts Samantha Hamann and Jory Proft interview Métis artists Krista Leddy and David Garneau about some of their recent artistic endeavors and how their Métis culture influences their artwork. Krista Leddy (she/her) is a Métis artist who creates timeless pieces which hold traditional aspects of Métis design and technique. Her pieces are bright, bold, and her work uplifts the voices of all within the arts community. David Garneau (he/him) is a contemporary Métis artist. He is the head of the Visual Arts Department at the University of Regina. David's art speaks to modern tastes and values. A few of his pieces center on his journey finding and maintaining a contemporary Métis identity.In each episode, Shakamohta presents a Michif word/phrase of the day. Our first phrase is from the Heritage dialect: koochiihk neu kaykwayak (koo-cheek ne-oo kay-gway-yak) which directly translates to “try new things”.  Tune in to the episode to find out why we chose it.  For more information about Rupertsland Institute's programs and opportunities, visit our website at https://www.rupertsland.org/.
