Based in Anishnaabe territory in southern Ontario, and formed by Indigenous artists, traditionalists and environmentalists, Onaman Collective is a grassroots land-based art initiative promoting and sharing traditional knowledge and language. The Collective helps Indigenous communities and youth reclaim the richness and vibrancy of their heritage through land-based arts, language revitalization, traditional knowledge and skill building, and other land based practices. In their words, “With everything we do, the underlying theme is always respect for the land and reclamation of the ways of our ancestors.”
Connecting with the land and following the natural laws will restore balance, says renowned artist Isaac Murdoch.
