Tasha Faye Evans
Cedar Woman

Cedar Woman is a prayer in a long line of prayers. It is sx̌ʷəx̌ʷəy̓em̓, a Coast Salish story of ancestral resilience and hope, honouring our relationship with these lands and a legacy of matriarchs spanning all the way back to a cedar tree. Through song, dance, and ceremony, Tasha Faye Evans and her ensemble call upon Cedar Woman, one of our first grandmothers who faced The Great Flood with fierce love. In this collective vision of hope for the future, we remember our sacred responsibility to all our relations and protecting what we know from the depth of our soul to be sacred.
