Indspire is deeply saddened by the passing of Cree cellist, composer and multidisciplinary artist Cris Derksen. 🕊️ Cris was a powerful force in Indigenous music and storytelling whose artistry and innovation left a lasting impact on audiences across Turtle Island and beyond. 🎻✨ Rest peacefully among the ancestors, Cris. 🤍 #Indspire #CrisDerksen

Indigenous excellence is built on the love, strength, and resilience of the women who came before us. Today we celebrate the aunties, mothers, grandmothers, and sisters who raised us and continue to lead the way. Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸✨ #MothersDay #IndigenousResilience #Matriarchs
