My Street Remembers 2025 – Childrens Book
Karen Krossing Author & Cathie Jamieson Illustrator
How many footsteps have walked your street in the past? My Street Remembers peels back the history of one city street in North America to reveal the greater story of the land on which we live. The story begins 14,000 years ago, when mammoths roamed the icefields, and the First Peoples followed their trail. Historically accurate illustrations show the lives of their descendants over thousands of years as they hunted and gathered food, built homes and celebrated together, until the 1600s, when Europeans arrived with settlers in their wake. In lyrical text, the street remembers agreements to live in peace, the efforts of the British to take the land with unfair treaties, and the conflict and suffering that followed. The street recalls its naming, paving and the waves of immigrants who called it home. Illustrations of recent times depict Canada’s apology to Indigenous Peoples and efforts toward Truth and Reconciliation, including a march with a banner that reads: Every Child Matters. This rich collaboration between author Karen Krossing, of White settler descent, and Anishinaabe artist Cathie Jamieson ends with a question that readers anywhere can ask—what does your street remember?

Maajigami 2025 – Atura Power

(R) The important acknowledgement of the sacred medicines that Anishinaabeg use in our bundles of life. The practice of planting tobacco, sage, cedar and sweetgrass and using these as offerings in exchanges. The Sisters Squash, Beans, and Corn are personified to share the story on what it means to thrive when growing together in place. The background detail signifies lasting relationship; the way the water, soil, and roots all work together so that our gardens and ourselves can flourish.

All eight panels share a story of the water that constantly flows within the land and within us. The circle & dot is a symbol of energy (spirit) moving within the water, connected to the trees, plants, medicines and knowing it will connect to us. The bottom boarder is a symbol of life that always returns, thirty-two medicines are shown to remind us that we can always learn and relearn the many stories that the land has to offer.

Carriers and Keepers 2025 – YZD Mural
The way generations of stories are passed down through talking (those who plant), through learning (those who harvest) and through making (those who create).

(Left side) The symbol of our knowledge carriers the Crow and the knowledge keeper is the Grandparent, and the young child planting is the next generation who will carry forward all these stories. The child’s feet are placed within the soil as to always keep grounded to the natural laws of life. The two young women inspired by shared stories they make birch and willow reed baskets and sit before a fire to give medicine offerings. The blanketed woman is mindfully making a quillwork basket and medicine bags. The background shows the natural landscapes of directional winds, changing sky, trees, and reeds. The middle ground shows the plants, medicines, and foods that have been harvested and are now hanging to dry naturally. The collection of baskets at the base of the birch show collected grains, dyed cloths, picked grasses, reeds, clay jar of ash, carved sticks, and tanned beaver tails. This artwork reflects on types of plant, medicines, and materials that have been harvested and the way Anishinaabeg practice the ways of being and living on the land with the materials that are part of the everyday natural landscape.
