Kahatènhston tsi na’tetiátere ne Iotohrkó:wa tánon Iotohrha
Drawing a Line from January to December
Traçant la ligne de janvier et décembre
began with a launch of the first gesture in honour of the life and legacy of Annie Pootoogook on January 21 in Montreal with readings in Inuktitut and English by Heather Iglorliorte and Beatrice Deer. They read Heather's essay for Annie Pootoogook, first published in Canadian Art, which you can read here:

Duane Linklater, cheyanne turions and I also began with a discussion of what it means to be visitors in the traditional territory of Tiohtià:ke and how we cannot separate the land from the peoples.
