Moccasins with a message: Art project honours lost aboriginal women - The Globe and Mail: In July, 2012, Christi Belcourt, a Michif (M�tis) artist who lives near Sudbury, made a Facebook appeal for help with a year-long collaborative art project called Walking With Our Sisters, to honour 600 missing or murdered aboriginal women. She hoped to assemble a show of 600 pairs of hand-made moccasin vamps (uppers) – but by year’s end had received 1,723 pairs, from artists and craftspeople all over North America and beyond. Sixty-five new beading circles sprang up around the project, and many people learned traditional crafts to participate – “a beautiful side-effect,” says Ms. Belcourt.
