Description

“The red dress and shirt symbolize the Indigenous women and gender diverse individuals who have been murdered or are missing. The red hand symbolizes solidarity and that we will be silenced no more.

The bear spirit is the protector. She is a strong source of support in times of difficulty. She guides you to be a leader. Her spirit may ask us to accept an authoritative role, not only directing our own lives but guiding others. This is not the time to be silent, but rather a time to challenge, to engage, to educate, and to inspire! She is feared and admired for her courage. She stands tall facing the threat of harm without fear.” By Jessica Somers.

Ganawenda, “to protect,” is a collection created to honor and support the MMIWG. Featuring meaningful designs and stunning colors, it transforms every creation into a masterpiece infused with heritage and culture.

Born in Sudbury, Ontario, and currently living in Lavigne, Ontario, Jessica Somers is Abenaki from Odanak. Deeply influenced by her grandmother’s love for scenic and wildlife painting and her father’s dedication to carpentry, Jessica developed a strong artistic foundation rooted in hard work, creativity, and cultural expression. Jessica’s artwork reflects the natural world and the ancestral knowledge passed down through generations. Inspired by the teachings of elders in her community and Nation, she creates paintings that honor her heritage—preserving and sharing stories that connect past and present. Through her art, Jessica seeks peace, shares wisdom, teaches moral lessons, and tells meaningful stories. She views art as an act of survivance—a way to uphold history, express Indigenous identity, and keep traditions alive for future generations.
