Shane Perley-Dutcher Artist Statment
“I am a Wolastoqey mixed media artist from the Wolastoqiyik Neqotkuk/Tobique Maliseet First Nation in New Brunswick, Canada. Creativity has been my heart beat since I was a child. Over the years I’ve been fortunate to learn from elders and artists from various Indigenous communities. These relationships have inspired me to incorporate traditional knowledge into my work. From making custom, intricate, precious metal jewelry, to forming large life size copper sculptures, my work infuses traditional Indigenous techniques with contemporary elements of design.

I’ve been formally trained at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design, graduating with my Native Arts diploma and my diploma in Jewellery Manufacturing with honors and distinction. Authentic Indigenous representation is important to me. My work honors traditional knowledge and fights to keep it alive for our next generations. My ancestors knew the importance of land and connecting to the land is an integral part of my creative process. Respecting this relationship always creates endless opportunities for me to grow as an Wolastoqey artist.”

About Jennifer Pictou
As an artist deeply connected to my Mi’kmaq heritage, I draw inspiration from the rich cultural tapestry of my ancestors’ resistance and survival, infusing my work with elements of tradition and history. Through the ancient techniques of glass beads, lampwork, and stained glass, I reclaim indigenous space and weave a contemporary narrative that honors the resilience and beauty of Mi’kmaq people in my homeland. In the fiery torch, I mold molten glass into statements of today’s enduring issues and passions. Each bead and sculpture tell a story of strength and perseverance, reflecting the enduring legacy of my ancestors. Within the delicacy of stained glass, I draw from the vibrant hues of ancestral objects and the natural world, using the Colonizer’s own medium of religious oppression to tell our story of survival and world views. In my beadwork I delve into the cultural resistance of my ancestors to create one-of-a-kind statement pieces of intricate form and function. These represent a claiming of modernity and space within fashion. Through all of my work I explore the themes of identity and belonging, using the interplay of light and color to reclaim and redefine Mi’kmaq narratives in a contemporary context.

Gabriel Frey, Passamaquoddy, comes from a long line of fancy and utility basketmakers. He uses his family's traditional knowledge and style to create beautifully woven, sturdily built utility baskets that can be used for a variety of purposes. Join Gabriel as he demonstrates the labor-intensive process of preparing ash and see firsthand how his beautiful and functional art is created.

All Cultural Connections programs are sponsored by Dawnland, LLC, are offered in partnership with Acadia National and are free and open to the public.

About Gabriel Frey
Gabriel Frey is a Passamaquoddy artist; whose family has been making traditional black ash baskets for generations. He specializes in utility baskets, such as pack baskets, market baskets, and purses. His artistic process includes locating and harvesting basket-quality black ash trees from the woods, processing black ash logs, and weaving black ash materials into basket forms. Each piece has an element of carving. He carves the hoops, handle, and wooden pins to fasten leather straps. Maintaining the traditional knowledge of Wabanaki basket makers is an important aspect of his artistic process. His art is an expression of an indigenous worldview. The natural world and the transformation of a living tree into a functional vessel inspire him. His baskets are a connection to the past, present, and future, interwoven to create functional pieces of art. Culture, family traditions, his personal experiences, and hopes for the future are embodied within each basket. Gabriel learned traditional black ash basket-making from his grandfather. “When I hold my grandfather’s baskets, I hear my grandfather’s voice giving subtle suggestions on technique and style. I hear my grandfather’s stories. My connection to family is maintained through basket making. I work towards perfecting the function and form of the traditional baskets while evolving each basket to reflect my personal style. My goal in basket making is to produce usable, functional baskets for daily use. I want a person who buys my work to use, feel, and experience Wabanaki culture everyday.” Through the use of these baskets, that person creates a connection and finds added value within the basket. Creating functional Wabanaki baskets is a platform to connect people to place. This reflects interconnectedness and reciprocity between people, their natural world, family, and all of our nonhuman relatives.

About Mihku Paul
Mihku Paul is a Wolastoqiyik or Maliseet poet, writer, visual artist, and activist.

Paul then received a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Stonecoast at the University of Southern Maine. Paul has offered interactive storytelling sessions surrounding Wabanaki stories, and assists students with art projects by intertwining conceptual principles along with practical design. Along with Paul’s storytelling, she also uses her art and poetry to help educate non-native people about the condition of Wabanaki people in the Northeast. Outside the classroom Paul’s poetry and art support diversity projects, events, and have been installed in various museums. Paul got to share her storytelling, talent for poetry, and feelings on her education in her first chapbook, “20th Century PowWow Playland”, published in 2012. This chapbook is a compilation of poems in which the Maliseet lands are at points inventively populated with not just, “the ghosts of half a millennium” but also with “those who remain”.
