Dear Friends:
This is an invitation to an exciting and informative session of our Thetis Island discussion group at the Philosophers’ Café on Tuesday, January 14, 7-9 p.m. at Heneage House, The Portal, when Martine J. Reid, author, curator, independent scholar and Honourary Chair of the Bill Reid Foundation, will join us to share her thoughts about and impressions of North West Coast art and the role it has played, and continues to play, in Indigenous culture. She has worked closely for several decades with BC’s coastal First Nations and, as wife of the late Bill Reid, one of our most cherished and gifted artists, often found herself at the center of Indigenous creativity. Martine and her husband Rodney Badger are also beloved Thetis residents.
