Believing in the arts as the most powerful medium to create positive change within Indigenous communities for the future, Christi Belcourt and Isaac Murdoch (Onaman Collective) have been making banner images for use in land and water protection actions and in support of land defence. All banners are free to download and use for all water and land protection actions by grassroots people on the Onaman Collective website.



Onaman Collective is a community-based social arts and justice organization founded in 2014 by Christi Belcourt, Isaac Murdoch, and Erin Konsmo. Onaman Collective is interested in helping Indigenous communities, particularly youth, with reclaiming the richness and vibrancy of their heritage. The collective combines land-based contemporary art with traditional arts, anishnaabemowin immersion, and Elders’ and traditional knowledge.
