This piece is from Marshall's exhibition ''Red Rising Hoods'' at the Cape Breton University Art Gallery. The art piece shows "nine tiny coffins open to reveal red shrouded figures, each buried within a pane of glass in a church window." The red figures represent the Mi'kmaq people, during the scalping bounties, who died for the hunting of their scalps for a sum of money. Then over the window, shutters hang and close to represent the lost memory the Canadian government has for the crime against the First Nations people.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.capebretonpost.com/lifestyles/teresa-marshalls-art-examines-uncomfortable-history-246823/|title=Teresa Marshall’s art examines uncomfortable history {{!}} Cape Breton Post|last=Patterson|first=Elizabeth|website=www.capebretonpost.com|language=en|access-date=2020-02-18}}</ref> | This piece is from Marshall's exhibition ''Red Rising Hoods'' at the Cape Breton University Art Gallery.

Teresa Marshall
Biography
Teresa Marshall was born in 1962 in Truro, in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. She is a multimedia artist, which includes sculptures and installations. She is associated with the First Nations people and was raised on the Millbrook Reserve as well as on a military base. She comes from two cultures, Mi'kmaq on her mom's side and Canadian on her dad's. Her works show and describe the affects of racism and neocolonialism on the First Nations people. Coming from two different backgrounds, Marshall has the ability to show both the indigenous and non-native perspectives of her native community and how they are affected.
Education
Marshall's father was in the military and because of this she went to school on the bases. This is where she would go to school during the year to learn her normal education and then would go to the reserve during the summer. During this time she would wonder why the different communities were always going against each other. The school on base would describe the stereotypical Native American attire and culture, but when she would go to the reserve, what she saw was completely different.
After primary and secondary education Marshall studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Then after her time at NSCAD, she continued to study theater at Dalhousie University.
Artworks
Hide and Seek The Souls You Keep Locked Away in God's Closet
This piece is from Marshall's exhibition Red Rising Hoods at the Cape Breton University Art Gallery. The art piece shows "nine tiny coffins open to reveal red shrouded figures, each buried within a pane of glass in a church window." The red figures represent the Mi'kmaq people, during the scalping bounties, who died for the hunting of their scalps for a sum of money. Then over the window, shutters hang and close to represent the lost memory the Canadian government has for the crime against the First Nations people.
