Strength is the drum beat of our communities. It pulses through our veins and ensures we keep things fierce, whether we're championing for our youth or dancing on the powwow trail. In this 1st issue of WIOT Magazine, our voices celebrate different shades of Strength and the power that comes from discovering it in ourselves... and in one another.

Cover Artist
Transformation
"My work uses humour and ambiguity to articulate the plurality of Aboriginal identity and culture in a global world. “Transformation” (1999), from the Plain(s) Warrior Artist series (1999-2005), depicts the struggle to find my place in the world. Instead of looking outside for a hero, I become one."
Rosalie Favell is a photo-based artist whose work reflects her family history and Métis (Cree/English) heritage. She is originally from Winnipeg, MB, and now resides in Ottawa, ON.
