We are now carrying both the Medicines To Help Us Book and Study Print Set (with Book included) by the Gabriel Dumont Institute.
From the Gabriel Dumont Institute (publisher):
"Based on Métis artist Christi Belcourt’s painting “Medicines to Help Us,” this innovative and vibrant resource honours the centuries-old healing traditions of Métis women. For this stunning set of twenty-seven gallery-quality prints and accompanying companion booklet, Christi Belcourt fuses her evocative artwork with Indigenous Traditional Knowledge and Western Science. With contributions from Métis Elders Rose Richardson and Olive Whitford, as well as key Michif phrases and terminology, Medicines to Help Us is the most accessible resource relating to Métis healing traditions produced to date." The study prints are an excellent resource for classrooms. The back of each print forms a "puzzle" where kids can put together the large cards to form the full painting.
