Liv Rondeau is an artist of mixed \;Ka nyen&rsquo\;kehá\;:ka\, Irish\, and French-Canadian heritage\, raise d in the Niagara Region. Her lineage carries both \;Kanyen&rsquo\;keh& aacute\;:ka \;and Irish roots through her mother\, and French-Canadian heritage through her father. Like many Indigenous families\, Liv&rsquo\;s story is one of reconnection&mdash\;held with care and approached with mi ndfulness to ensure it is guided by community and done with intention.&nbs p\;
\nWith humility and respect\, Liv is reconnecting with her \ ;Kanyen&rsquo\;kehá\;:ka \;heritage through the teachings of her maternal grandfather. She is a member of the \;Kenhtè\;:ke \;Longhouse\, where \;she sits \;with the Wolf Clan\, and grounds her work as an artist and scholar in the principles of the Great Law of Pe ace. \;
\nLiv&rsquo\;s beadwork practice brings together traditi onal Haudenosaunee raised techniques and contemporary methods to create de tailed\, three-dimensional designs that honour Haudenosaunee artistry. Roo ted in relationships\, her pieces have been shared with Indigenous Matriar chs and Patriarchs across Turtle Island. \;
\nThrough community workshops\, Liv shares beadwork \;as a way to \;foster connection\ , support well-being\, and carry forward stories. \;Her practice is pa rt of a larger commitment to cultural resurgence\, supporting the continua tion of Haudenosaunee traditions for future generations. \;
\nMa ke It Happen \;is a bi-weekly program that brings community experts in to the Library to teach useful hands-on skills. No previous experience nec essary. \;
\nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of the Kin gston Frontenac Public Library.
