The stunning Indigenous Canada flag created by Kwakwaka'wakw artist Curtis Wilson. His design for the flag is meant to represent First Nations in Canada to the public.

Happy Valentine’s Day y’all! I hope you have someone you love(or at least someone special) to share it with. This show flyer from ’99 is relevant for me in that regard because the show took place two days before my wife Amanda and I started dating… the best thing that ever happened to me!
