Christine Brosseau Weskarini Algonquin Métis
Christine Brosseau is from Sudbury Ontario and living in Ottawa.. Christine is Metis on both side of her family.  She had the opportunity to be raised in her Métis culture and placed with her grandmother at a young age.

This is where she learned to work with beads, leather and quills. She learned how to make mittens and moccasins from the hide her grandmother had her brain tanning.

Christine also learned how to harvest porcupine quills, clean them and dye them for artwork on birch bark and or on leather.  When Christine exhibits her artwork people recognize the traditional authenticity that reflect the beauty of her artwork and want to have a piece of her creation.
