Tina Bernard

Tina has worked in the human services field for many years prior to being at the Centre. She has a degree in Sociology/Anthropology. She also worked for the Tatamagouche Centre, as their Project Coordinator for their “Peace and Friendship Project” which was based on helping to bridge the historic gaps of understanding between L’nuk, and settlers, new and old. Understanding the effects of colonialism, not just locally, but globally, she sees the need for creating what’s called “slow economy” to balance the needs of both environmental healing, and healing between peoples.

Crafting and art are ways to help create productive lives, sustainable living, and helpful connections between the natural world, and between peoples. Her own crafting includes ribbon dress making, quilting, beading, paper crafting, and she just taught herself crocheting for over a year now! Tina looks forward to bringing craft and art projects to the five L’nu communities in Una’ma’ki over the next several months. She will be reaching out to various organizations and groups. Please feel free to connect with her through the Centre. M’sit No’kmaq.
