Monster – Stories of Women

Urban Shaman 203-290 McDermot Ave Winnipeg, MB R3B 0T2
P: (204) 942-2674
W: http://urbanshaman.orgMonster is a story of women who live in this world. The depiction of Native Women in Canada is deplorable. Often the stories are bleak and serves only one purpose, to perpetuate Native Women as losers and non-producers often taking away from the common good of this society. Newspapers occasionally make statements about the taxpayer’s loss as they are the ones paying for services going towards the livelihood of Native Peoples, notably women and their children. With this exhibition of images, Niro’s goal is to create another kind of image of Native North American Women. Our legacy starts in the skyworld. Through an act of accident, we are now inhabiting a world where we faced those everyday challenges and have found ways to thrive and survive
