We stand where our ancestors’ dreams meet our hopes for the future. My Legacy Wool Blanket honors that path, blending Otoe-Missouria & Choctaw symbols, my mom’s ribbonwork, as well as her memory. I created it to honor renewal, strength, and the legacies we carry forward.

did a little upscale for dani but also included a texture edit that changed the plaid it comes with to a myaamia ribbonwork pattern.

Here's a bit about the print - it's a 12x12in. #letterpress broadside combining metallic ink, fiber-embedded paper, and the geometric patterning of Miami Nation (myaamia) ribbonwork to communicate the vibrancy of waawaahsinaakwahki, a myaamiaataweenki word that translates as 'it is shimmering.'

AAL played a small role in this project & 2nd floor interpretive #exhibit in this stunning building. They also have excellent programming (taplink.cc/greatcouncil...). Great to see this #CommunityEngagement project recognized. We do great things #together.

Saturday at #Salute51 was like being behind the nicest shieldwall ever, with people throwing money and compliments at us. If only I hadn't run out of time, there'd have been better prep...

Make no mistake y'all, this order is about whitewashing history. I have posted a few pics from the First Americans Museum in OKC I think are important to the "history" of America. Plus the part of exhibit is from the Smithsonian.
Creation Since the beginning of our time on Earth, the Creator has blessed us with useful gifts. We were given water, plants, animals, trees, and the human ability to build our entire world with our hands. We honor this blessing by making our cultural objects with purpose and intent. Our traditions are upheld through the careful selection of natural and human-made materials. We embellish these objects with tribally specific designs and adornments that echo our tribal and spiritual worldviews. Traditional artists infuse life into objects through prayer. As we wear and use our objects in tribal ceremonies, we bring life to them. They begin to hold spiritual energy and memories. They provide a relationship with our past and future. Minnie Willits Elkhair (Delaware), from Bartlesville, Oklahoma, creating a ribbonwork Dianket, 1910 Courtesy of Mational Museum of the American indian, smithsonian Institution Indian Removal Act: A Federal Weapon Despite intense debate, the Indian Removal Act was passed by Congress on May 28, 1830. Congressmen had argued it would negate the respect and good faith established in every former federal treaty Many US citizens called it an affront to morality. An act of greed, the indian Removal Act sought to expand Us Brown's 2, territory beyond the 40 million acres already secured through treaties. Signed into law without regard to American Indians' rights, the act affirmed the racist belief that whites had supremacy over Indigenous peoples. The Cherokee Nation, whose lands were at the center of the debate, brought two legal cases to the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of tribal sovereignty. President Andrew Jackson defied the court's decisions. He forcibly removed nearly 100,000 American Indians: The evil, Sir, is enormous; the inevitable suffering incalculable.. We shall look back upon it, I fear, with self reproach, and a regret as bitter as unavailing. - Representative Edward Everett (Whig-Massachusetts), in a congressional debate on the passing of the Indian Removal Act, 1830 We... think only of the love we have for our land... to let it go will be like throwing away [our] mother that gave [us] birth. -Aitooweyah (Cherokee), in a letterto Cherokee Principal Chief John Ross, 1838 Unraveled (1830-1907) Between 1830 and 1907, all 39 tribes now in Oklahoma were forcibly moved from our homelands. Indian and Oklahoma Territories became a catchall for US expansion. All tribes faced the challenges of resettlement. The Indian Removal Act (1830) was a direct assault by the United States. This act allowed the president to intentionally remove tribes without our consent. During the 57 years following, 67 tribes were relocated to Indian Territory. The Dawes Allotment and Severalty Act (1887) was an outright attack against tribal sovereignty. It forced tribal members to accept land as individuals and undermined our cultural norms for social care. It denied our tribal governments full capacity to protect our citizens, challenging our very existence during this period.

Dang. More evidence that I often don't look at KS arrivals very closely sometimes, I've only had these books 2 years.
