Our thanks to Jess Sanderson-Barry for visiting Inner City High School last week to speak to our youth. She is a nêhiyaw-iskwêw, mother, Cree Artist, Hide Tanner, Knowledge Sharer and Facilitator from Chakastaypasin Band, in Treaty 6 Territory.
She creates wearable art under the name JShine Designs and is currently working out of Edmonton. Beading and working on hides have awakened her spirit and she expresses herself by creating beautiful adornments for everyday wear. You can see her work at https://jshinedesigns.ca. We also extend our thanks to The Canadian Native Friendship Centre for their assistance connecting us with Jess.
