Anishinaabe artist Hillary Kempenich design
Ode'imin is the Anishinaabe word for strawberry, or heart berry. Ode'imin also refers to good hearted. The artist Hillary Kempenich is especially fond of strawberries as it is a favorite past time of hers; and continues to cultivate berries as part of gardening which she shares practices with friends, family and community. Dragonflies are thought of to be protectors and messengers; and are often found in our garden amongst the berries.
