They are human beings! Stop treating them like animals. We shouldn’t call them immigrants. They are people too. They have names.

This beadwork is symbol for Native and Deaf woman. We communicate hands via eyes. I created this beadwork in 2014. This one is my personal favorite. 🪶🤎

Happy National Ribbon Skirt Day.

Ribbon Skirts are a symbol of resilience, survival and identity, but their meaning changes with each person who wears one and each person who shares their history.

After election, I was pretty discouraged. After few days, I realized that our ancestors have been thru the worst of times when government wanted to kill us all. We meant to be survivors and resilient.

King of France called us IMMORTAL since they cannot kill us all. Said we were hard to kill.
