Grandmother Moon is a powerful teaching about Aboriginal women’s special connection to our Grandmothers who have passed into the Spirit world. Grandmother Moon provides us direction, strength, knowledge and wisdom in taking our sacred place in our families, communities and beyond. She teaches us about our sacred role as the life-givers and the heart of our nations — for without women our nations cannot go on. We need Grandmother Moon’s presence in our lives now more than ever, especially for our young women who live in the dark and struggle to live in the light.

Artist Dick Baker designed the Kwakuitl Moon for the front of the poster, as well as carving a memorial that now stands in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. Dick has been carving for 54 years and uses Squamish and Kwakuitl styles, taught to him by Chief Mathias and Ellen Neel respectively. Of Kwakuitl and Coast Salish descent, Dick currently lives on the Capilano Reserve.

This poster was produced through a partnership of The Native Women’s Association of Canada, The Anglican Church of Canada, The Anglican Council of Indigenous Peoples, and The United Church of Canada.
