Peace & Friendship Park
'Remember Ktaqmkuk in Peace & Friendship' is a place, memory, and archival response and call to remember in place on Codroy Island: a forgotten site of affirmation of the Peace & Friendship Treaty in South-West Ktaqmkuk.
Megan Samms (they/she) is an L’nu and Nlha7kápmx visual artist, Indigenous agriculturalist, beekeeper, and community worker who, drawing from her varied practices, works collaboratively with mediums to articulate story, messages, and continued dialogue within their respective historic and contemporary place-based contexts. She’s known for weaving and natural dye work, but uses photo, and performance interventions to remember and triangulate entangled presence and relationality with place and time. Samms is a collaborator and is currently an apprentice in Ancestral Skin Marking with Dion Kaszas, Keith Callihoo, and Jerry Evans. She lives in her home community in one of their two ancestral territories: Katalisk, Ktaqmkuk, Mi’kma’ki, Wabanaki Territory.
