About 30 beaded moccasin tops, known as vamps, were to be shipped from Flin Flon today to become part of an awareness-raising art piece set to tour the nation. Local volunteers spent recent weeks beading the vamps. They will go to aboriginal artist Christi Belcourt, who is creating a winding path of vamps spread over a gallery floor. Belcourt was aiming for 600-plus vamps _ one for every aboriginal woman believed to be missing or the subject of an unsolved murder in Canada. Doreen Roman (pictured, left) spearheaded the local vamp-making campaign, which was made possible by the sponsorship of United Steelworkers Local 7106, whose Lisa Tower is also pictured.
