Eric Schweig and the Friends United not-for-profit team describe their artistic journeys/callings

Actor/Inuit carver Eric Schweig and his friend Rolf Bouman describe together with many Indigenous artists what the Friends United circle is all about. They speak from their own experience. Their artworks displayed at the Friends United International Convention Centre in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada are being featured in this video. The Friends United Initiative, which is now a not-for-profit organization was founded by philanthropist Rolf Bouman almost 2 decades ago in order to facilitate the reconciliation with the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island (North American continent). It is the goal of the Friends United Initiative to promote through Indigenous artworks and their important messages not just reconciliation between peoples, but also hope and peace globally, as this is now more important than ever before. For this purpose, people from all across the world are frequently gathering at the Friends United International Convention Centre. Many Indigenous artists live here on site in Cape Breton and are producing together artwork. This also includes mentorship and conveying old teachings in order to preserve important Indigenous messages for future generations.
