“May we cherish our matriarchs, and treasure them always.”
Saskatoon Chamber Singers is deeply grateful to askîhk Research Services for their sponsorship of our final concert, “A Bouquet for Mother”
askîhk Research Services is an Indigenous- and women-led archaeological consulting firm committed to culturally sensitive and trauma-informed investigations. We collaborate with communities to find unmarked graves and honour the children who disappeared from former Residential Schools across Turtle Island. By employing advanced technologies and inclusive methods, we assist with planning, fieldwork, interpretation, and memorialization, always prioritizing respect, care, and community leadership in every project. Our focus and expertise lie in ground penetrating radar and soil spectroscopy methods which we have employed in searches with communities all across turtle Island.
We are thrilled to partner with the Saskatoon Chamber Singers this month to bring you their Bouquet for Mother concert. We want to dedicate this concert to those who uphold the matriarchal spirit, to our two-spirit relatives, to the mothers left behind and to the matriarchs that could have been. And most importantly, to those Survivors, to the leaders they became, despite the people they could have become. May we cherish our matriarchs and treasure them always.
