A one-day art exhibit by Sayisi Dene artist Jedrick Thorassie was held at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg. The exhibit, titled "My Peoples Journey," reflects on the Sayisi Dene people's history, including their forced relocation in 1956. Thorassie, a self-taught artist, shared his personal experiences and community struggles through his artwork. He emphasized the importance of understanding his family's history and the impact of his upbringing on his art. The exhibit was part of Free Museum Day and was open to the public until 5 p.m. on Sunday. Thorassie also invites viewers to see his work at an art shop in Winnipeg's Exchange District on the first Friday of each month.
