Cheyenne (’23 Child and Youth Study, MSVU) is the Coordinator + Comms Assistant with the Two-Eyed Seeing Program. “Working on the mural has been a joy. Through celebrating Mi’kmaw culture, I’ve learned about beautiful aspects often missing in education. I'm excited to share that beauty through art"

“It means a lot that I can express myself at MSVU during this project. I have ADHD and a learning disability. I hope my work shows others that different kinds of learners belong in academic spaces." - Grace, 14-year-old Afro-Indigenous artist Mural unveiling: Oct 22, 4:30PM, MSVU Library

Krista Collier-Jarvis (L’nu/Mi’kmaw) is an Assistant Prof in English & Co-Lead of the Two-Eyed Seeing Program. “Two-Eyed Seeing lets me unapologetically be myself. As a mixed Mi’kmaw/settler, I’ve often questioned my place in community. TES allows me to explore what it means to be Indigenous today.”

“Through the TES Program, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and learning from wonderful people. These experiences inspire me to mentor others, share Mi’kmaw culture, and encourage creativity as a path to healing.” - Jessica Jerome: Two-Spirited Mi’kmaw artist, graphic designer, illustrator
