The Native Council of Nova Scotia & The Ross Creek Centre for the Arts are partnering up to host a storytelling/face painting event “Painting Our Legacy” by Mi'kmaq novelist/artist from the Butterfly Clan of Millbrook First Nation.
Raven Elwell Stephens is a Mi'kmaq artist from the Butterfly Clan of Millbrook First Nation. Raven has always been passionate about art and all the forms it can take. While exploring the beauty and creative potential of makeup, she discovered her personal form of artistic expression.
“I started with the stories I knew, those I had heard as a child from Elders in my family and community,” she says. “There is a lot of symbolism in Indigenous stories, particularly around plants and animals. It’s important to know this history and context. This book features fairly well-known symbols such as the medicine wheel and the seven sacred teachings. I also had the opportunity to research less-known symbols and petroglyphs as part of the project.”
