Tân'si nitôtem,
My name is Chauntelle Atcheynum and I am from Sweetgrass First Nation in Saskatchewan, on the Treaty No. 6 Territory. I am the Weaver of Mamawi Creations and this is our creation story…
Mamawi Creations was birthed by a community coming together to help in a time of healing and transformation.
My prayer is that this may help you all in this time of collective healing and transformation.
Mamawi in Nehiyawewin (plains cree) means all together. As all of the beads are woven together, so too are the connections woven between you and I.
With a heart full of gratitude, I bow to you and all who have helped Mamawi Creations thrive over the years.
I feel honored to be here. It is a blessing to share my culture, language, and traditions with you all.
I am grateful for this journey and all the beauty that continues to reveal itself along the way.
Thank you for weaving this prayer with me.
