This exhibition is a love letter to Haudenosaunee girlhood. It is for Haudenosaunee girls who carry on our ways of being and knowing. Girls who inherit the responsibility to carry on the centuries old governance, land stewardship, and material culture. Girls
who will become parents, teachers, healers, storytellers. Girls who are paying attention to the legacies we leave, the tools we hand to them, and the burdens colonialism has placed on their shoulders.</div>

Rooted in Y2K and femme aesthetics, <i>Treaty Girl</i> reflects the nostalgia of my girlhood and explores Haudenosaunee worldview and the influences of western pop culture on our lives.</div>
