MOCCASIN ROCKS
For Residential School Survivors
This project began when the artist was hand painting rocks for her grandkids to hide during beach walks and hikes, as gifts for others to find. Some beaches produce specifically 'moccasin shaped' rocks, that seemed to be asking to be painted this way. The mini moccasin ones were so tiny and dear, that her Grandson agreed - they remind us of the children lost. The topic took on deep connection when they discussed how his own ancestors attended residential school. Kristi now offers the little rocks at various local events. Purchase by donation to Residential School Survivors.
Slideshow below shows a few of the thousand that have been gifted, so far.
