Tapiskwan Artist Series

Our collaboration with Coop Nitaskinan through the Tapiskwan initiative stems from our shared connection with nature. Tapiskwan is a project dedicated to developing strategies to pass on Atikamekw cultural heritage by creating contemporary gear inspired by their rich ancestral iconography.This collection pays tribute to their creations and celebrates the continuity of their culture. It also stems from an initial encounter between Fred Campbell and Coop Tapiskwan, sparked during the Mamowinitotan, Living Together, awareness campaign led by Indigenous Tourism Quebec.

Because every meaningful moment begins with a meeting, the sincere starting point of dialogue, a shared vision, and a collaboration filled with purpose.

Living Together

It all began with an inspiring encounter between Karine Awashish and Fred Campbell, as part of the Mamo Ocitaw – Living Together project, initiated by Indigenous Tourism Québec in the fall of 2024. From this natural connection emerged a shared vision: to unite deeply rooted values with ancestral traditions, and to bring them into dialogue with a modernity inspired by nature.

Today, we are proud to bring this unique collaboration to life.
