Lead by Meg Paulin, The Trapper’s Cabin is an interactive installation consisting of a collection of local stories, both old and new, of land use, local knowledge, and Nipissing creation stories regarding both the changing landscape and cultural identity as Western ideologies and pressures often create tension, conflict, and division between land use practices. A trapper lives intimately with the land and the animals, they speak their language, and are keepers of traditional ecological knowledge. Historical maps and articles regarding the area can be viewed in collaboration with audio recordings of oral history. This is a work in progress and viewers will have the chance to contribute written, drawn, and audio stories while exploring concepts of personal land use, consumption, transformation, the supernatural, and familial memories. Megan has gathered much of the historical data while performing archeological projects in the area with Kinnickinick Consulting and the Nipissing First Nation Band, as well as community engaged workshops in response to Aanmitaagzi’s The Serpent People.
