Bernadine was well known all over for her Wiingashk (sweetgrass) pins. She was very inspired by her anishnabe way of life, contributed many of her crafts to pow wows, ceremonies, funerals, school events and give aways. She proudly published her own story, “A mothers jingle dress dream” inspired by a dream after the birth of her daughter.
A special thank you to the various physicians, nurses and PSW’s on 3B that cared for Bernadine during this tough time.
