Jesse Campbell joins BUMP this year to bring us his incredible mural of a Metis matriarch, Valarie Campbell - depicted with her hair braided into sweet grass and the iconic “mouse tracks” Métis beading pattern. In his piece Jesse reflects on Louis Riel’s statement: “My people will sleep for one hundred years, but when they awake, it will be the artists who give them their spirit back.” This mural acknowledges the many great Métis artists who are currently emerging and growing their voice in this century, affirming that they are a people of the land living with the seasons and Indigenous kin.
