                | Our virtual gallery 
                    has new features and we are proud to welcome Jacques Néwashish, 
                    an Atikamekw artist from Wemotaci.  For Jacques Newashish, the symbolic territory of works of 
                    art must unfold its wings in the imagination of each and every 
                    one and take root. His painting can be seen as a meditation 
                    on the future of our planet.

                | First Nations Artists 
                    in France 
 |   
                |  
                    From the 5th to the 11th of December, 2002, 
                      LAND InSIGHTS erected four totemic masts on the Lacroix 
                      Laval site, near Lyon, during the Jacques Cartier Dialogues. 
                      Mr Jean-Jacques Lincourt, director of the Montreal Botanical 
                      Gardens, was one of the lecturers invited to this annual 
                      conference. Following the successful partnership developed 
                      between LAND InSIGHTS and the Montreal Botanical Gardens, 
                      Mr Lincourt put forth the idea that an installation of four 
                      totemic masts by artists Virginia Pésémapéo 
                      Bordeleau, Christine Sioui and Jacques Néwashish 
                      could bring his presentation to life. The artists inscribed 
                      the marks of the Cree, Abenaki and Atiamekw nations in the 
                      French soil. LAND InSIGHTS could not hope for a better example 
                      of mutual understanding reached between satisfied partners.

                        InSIGHTS goes to Cégep 
 |   
                |  Land InSIGHTS held a booth at the intercultural 
                    event, La quinzaine des cultures at Cégep du Vieux-Montréal, 
                    on February 27th and 28th. This activity was an opportunity 
                    for many discussions and exchanges between the Cégep students 
                    and the Land InSIGHTS representative, Lysanne Obomsawin, from 
                    the Abenaki nation. We could see that there was a keen interest 
                    in discovering the differences among the different First Nations 
                    in Quebec and the land claims that are now making the headlines.
