The series is called wintercount . . . And so in my culture my Omaskeko Cree culture, we ask each other this question of how old are you ? And when we ask each other that question in Cree, if we were to translate, that would literally be saying, how many winters are you? If we are looking at a lifetime of a person, that person as half winter, the sort of way I look at it, right? And so this [is a] really beautiful way to think about the presence of winter.
