my pandemic summer / My Awakened Heart

This 45 minute lecture was pre-recorded for a presentation to the York Heritage Quilt Guild in Toronto Ontario on October 20, 2020.  Judy and her husband live and work on Manitoulin Island, Lake Huron, Ontario Canada.  Manitoulin has a long history of First Nations settlement.

Manitoulin means Spirit Island in the Ojibwe language.  The island is considered sacred by the native Anishinaabe people who identify as the People of the Three Fires, The Ojibwe, The Odawa and the Potawatomi tribes.  Judy Martin acknowledges this traditional territory and hopes that her work and this talk show her deep respect and graitude.
