CREATURE MEDICINE / PISISKIWÂYIS

Sarah Houle-Lowry

This piece is based on reimagined Cree and Métis myths surrounding the idea that we share this planet Earth with other beings that exist among us in different realms; traveling from either party to perspective realms by way of portals, dreams and ceremony.

About this work

Creature Medicine, pisiskiwâyisᐱᓯᐢᑭᐋᐧᔨᐢmaskihkîyᒪᐢᑭᐦᑮᕀ, is based on reimagined Cree and Métis myths surrounding the idea that we share this planet Earth with other beings that exist among us in different realms; traveling from either party to perspective realms by way of portals, dreams and ceremony.
In this story, Mannegishi (one of the sacred little people), Kahkakiw Nâpesis (raven boy/trickster) and Roogaroo (shape shifter) peer out from their portal into our world. These creatures are here to teach us valuable medicine that will manifest in a healthy, symbiotic relationship with mother earth.
