Being hyper-independent, a step-parent, a councillor and someone the whole family leans on makes pregnancy really hard some days. I woke up exhausted and I feel like I’m letting everyone down when I rest. But also, this is my time and I just need extra of everything. Extra softness, extra help.

Just thinking… Indigenous-made maternity clothes would go hard! I am having a hard time finding good quality sustainable plus size maternity clothes.

I haven’t been on here in a hot minute- council duties, creating art and parenting all take up a lot of time so I post on socials way less. But I wanted to come on here and update that we are expecting a little one in December 🥹❤️

Has anyone ever taken Animal Husbandry training? Many folks in my community want chickens and in trying to strategize/consulting with our gitigan, this type of training has been identified as beneficial and necessary. Wondering if anyone can weigh in so we can make good decisions. Miigwech!

My newest mural is up! The narrative is now shifting from Creation Story to Migration Story, and this image depicts a thunderbird and giant serpent engaged in battle over Niagara Falls, one of the stopping points.

I’m so proud of the work Waasa Enaabijig immersion is doing here in Rama! This week they learned a lot from the Great Lakes Cultural Camp. It was an honour to bear witness to this work & to show the kids my art. They’re co-creating the future of our community. 🥹

We stopped by the hide tanning workshop to help out a bit this afternoon. Much respect to the harvesters who do this regularly, and everyone who’s been working for days on these ones- it is back breaking work! So happy we got to participate & so proud of our community for coming together like this ❤️

Many miigweches to these University of Victoria students! Over the past two days they gave a series of presentations about their research on Repatriation and Anishinaabe Law, Tribunal Development, an Environmental Literature Review of Indigenous-Led Solutions to Fish & Water Stewardship, etc.

Lately this image has been in my head. I’ve dreamt of it and sketched it in my notes during meetings where we speak about the collective and our intentions as we move forward as a community.

Yesterday we birthed and bathed eagle feathers together as a council ✨
The act of caring for these feathers comes from the intention of uplifting our community.
I am so grateful for the work we are doing together.

70 hours have been put into this mural so far. The first panel is almost done. Then 10 more. Best project I’ve ever done in my whole career ❤️

I’m devouring Moon Of The Turning Leaves just as quickly as I devoured Moon Of The Crusted Snow. It’s so good because it’s so plausible. It aligns all our Nish dreams and prophecies with realities (good and bad). Obsessed with this series.
