Walking with Our Sisters
Walking With Our Sisters is a commemorative art installation of over 1,763 moccasin vamps with an addition of 108 pairs of children's moccasin vamps.〔 This art installation was created to remember all the missing and murdered First Nations women and girls, and each pair of moccasin vamps (top) represents one missing or murdered Indigenous North American woman.〔 The children's vamps represent the children that never returned home from residential schools, and both pairs commemorate and honor the lives of those women and children that were cut short due to violent actions of others.〔 The art pieces will be made available to the public through selected galleries across North America, as a floor installation of the beaded moccasin vamps in a winding path formation.〔
== Visiting==
Visitors to the exhibit are asked not to use cameras or other electronic devices, to remove their shoes, and to be smudged before entering the exhibit. Each visitor receives a small pouch of snuff tobacco to hold in the left hand, which is closest to the heart, before entering the display area, which is covered in red cloth. Visitors move clockwise through the display area, and are asked to stay on the red cloth, not stepping on or over the vamps. At the end, they return the snuff pouches, which are later burned in a ceremonial fire, together with used tissues, provided at several points throughout the display. Native elders and volunteers are on hand to answer questions, or to hear visitors' impressions after the visit.
