In the fall of 2021, a group of Mi’kmaq artists embarked on a remarkable project to recreate a historic Mi’kmaq regalia gifted to Captain Henry Dunn O’Halloran in the early 1840s. This team of artists includes Sgoagani Mye Wecenisqon from Esgenoôpetitj First Nation, Oakley Wysote Gray from Listiguj First Nation, and Ingrid Brooks from Indian Island First Nation—all graduates of the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design.
The original regalia was presented to Captain O’Halloran, a member of the 69th Regiment of Foot, who had gathered census information on Mi’kmaq communities along the Miramichi River under the supervision of New Brunswick Indian Commissioner Moses Perley. As an expression of gratitude, O’Halloran was made an honorary Mi’kmaq chief by Chief Joseph Maly Itkobitch and received the ceremonial regalia, believed to have been created by three Mi’kmaq women artists from the Miramichi region, likely in Esgenoôpetitj First Nation.
We invite you to an evening of storytelling, reflection, and celebration of this important cultural art object and the women whose legacy endures.
This event is free and open to the public.

À l'automne 2021, un groupe d'artistes mi'kmaq s'est lancé dans un projet remarquable visant à recréer une tenue historique mi'kmaq offerte au capitaine Henry Dunn O'Halloran au début des années 1840. Cette équipe d'artistes comprend Sgoagani Mye Wecenisqon, de la Première nation Esgenoôpetitj, Oakley Wysote Gray, de la Première nation Listiguj, et Ingrid Brooks, de la Première nation Indian Island - tous diplômés du Collège d'artisanat et de design du Nouveau-Brunswick.
La tenue originale a été offerte au capitaine O'Halloran, membre du 69e Régiment de fantassins, qui avait recueilli des données de recensement sur les communautés mi'kmaq le long de la rivière Miramichi sous la supervision du commissaire des Indiens du Nouveau-Brunswick, Moses Perley. En guise de remerciement, M. O'Halloran a été nommé chef mi'kmaq honoraire par le chef Joseph Maly Itkobitch et a reçu les costumes de cérémonie, qui auraient été créés par trois femmes artistes mi'kmaq de la région de Miramichi, probablement dans la Première nation d'Esgenoôpetitj.
Nous vous invitons à une soirée de contes, de réflexion et de célébration de cet important objet d'art culturel et des femmes dont l'héritage perdure.
Cet événement est gratuit et ouvert au public.
