Last month, Anita “Mother Bear” Peters received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Tomaquag Museum during their 2024 Annual Honoring and Cultural Celebration. The celebration is meant to honor individuals who have demonstrated the characteristics of an advocate, a leader, a visionary, a mentor, and a teacher within the Indigenous community. The museum highlighted her experience as a cultural guide, educator, Clan Mother, and skilled seamstress. Congratulations, Mother Bear!
