"M: Stories of Women is a series of large scale photographs that incorporate elements of myth and portraiture to contest the prevailing narratives that define First Nations existence.

The amibiguity of the title affords Niro the ability to explore several issues in and outside the context of gender. The incorporation of overlapping elements with found imagery, landscape photography and portraiture allows for complex presentations of each of the series' subjects. - Sally Frater" -- taken from publisher website.
