Title (Dublin Core)

Mé​​​​​​​tis artist creates 'wash your hands' posters in 21 Indigenous languages

Description (Dublin Core)

"The Métis artist decided to take two of her pieces and, using translations she found on an Indigenous Services Canada website, add the recommendation to 'wash your hands' in 21 Indigenous languages."
"There's a lot of elders that don't speak the English language fluently, so to see something in their own language would be comforting, just knowing that somebody cares enough to take the time to give you something in the language of your own upbringing."
