About Us
Project Director - Ramona Nicholas

Her role in the development of the Wabanaki Way Exhibit and Website has been an educational journey not only for herself but for those who have also been a part developing these projects.

Graphic Designer - Griffin Germain
Gwe’, teluisi Griffin-Thomas Germain. I am a Mi'gmaw, self-taught, multi-medium artist from Listuguj Mi’gmaq First Nation in Quebec.
I’ve been making art for as long as I can remember, mostly starting with graphite/charcoal sketches. I received an iPad for my 15th birthday in 2017 and I’ve been primarily doing digital illustration ever since. I’m mostly self taught when it comes to my drawing, but I’ve had help from community members and wabanaki teachers in learning how to bead, sew, weave, and carve. I used to only do illustrations, now I’m attempting to broaden my range to different forms of wabanaki art such as beading, quillwork and basket-making.
I seek to showcase the unique beauty in wabanaki culture that is often times overlooked in comparison to western ideals of art, as well as, use it as an attempt to further connect myself to the land; and my community to one another.
