Description
Poitras, once labeled an angry artist, believes anger is foreign to Indigenous philosophies and traditions, instead dictates forgiveness. Her works have display evils done to First Nations people by the church, Western materialism, residential schools and alcohol, but her own worldview is that trials and suffering lead to redemption.
