"An Island Mi'kmaq artist is doing her part to honour her ancestors and cultural values through an ancient art form using birchbark in her quillwork. Melissa Peter-Paul started doing quillwork in 2014, but it was the work of her great-great-grandmother that first got her interested. "She has a lot of her pieces in the archives today," she said. "I've been able to look at all of them and get a lot of my inspiration." Peter-Paul incorporates porcupine quills, sweet grass, spruce root and birchbark in her quillwork.
