"I honour the water and the bees. They are two things that everything on Mother Earth depend on and therefore are deserving of the utmost respect. Without them, nothing would exist." Half Moon Woman

A birch bark biting is a unique piece of Indigenous artwork. They are made from biting an image, using only the teeth, into a thin, single layer of birch bark harvested from the birch tree. Birch bark had many uses historically, from making canoes and cooking pots, to important medicinal uses. Birch bark bitings were used as a means to create beadwork patterns on clothing and moccasins, to share stories, and record ceremonies.

This is an image of the original piece of Half Moon Woman's work called If It Wasn't For Bees and Water. In the Churchill Collection the pieces are placed on a background of the colours of the Churchill, Manitoba area such as the teal blue colour of the Hudson Bay.
