The Cree called the Mรฉtis Otipemisewak, or โ€œthe people who own themselves,โ€ because they followed the beat of their own drum. This series of acrylic paintings by Prince George-based interdisciplinary artist Erin Stagg captures this intangible spirit of the Mรฉtis culture by illustrating stories of the Mรฉtis people through her own family history.
