Mvskoke Spiral 🌀
(Digital art made on procreate by me!)

Not only do I enjoy enjoy doing a lot of different forms of art, but I also enjoy creating art that has a purpose and a meaning, which is why I’m so thankful to have this opportunity!!

I already have some different ideas for what I’m going to create next !!🩵

Super excited to share this art of a Bobolink I created for an infographic for a really amazing internship I was accepted for!!

2: The Darker sky behind her represents the past and the resilience her ancestors before her had, concerning gen0cid3, forced relocation and assimilation, and violence brought upon them by settlers.

1: The background represents Indigenous futurity and also reflections on the past. She is looking toward the brighter sky which represents the future and has lush green leaves.

This piece is called
‘Reflection and Resilience : Indigenous futurity’
The background has some symbology in it - let me break it down:

Ai art is not real art and should not replace real artists 🤷🏼‍♀️

I very much want to get into learning how to draw in hyper - realistic styles👀👀

Super happy to be getting art commissions again!! I absolutely love taking people’s ideas and making them “come to life”

For me, when I give an art piece or make one for someone, it is a love language and something I take very seriously!

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NATIVE AMERICAN GRAVES PROTECTION AND REPATRIATION ACT (NAGPRA): LONG BUT IMPORTANT AND MUCH SHORTER THAN WHAT I READ TO COMPILE IT 🧵

I'm going to speak some hard truths right now. It's going to hurt your feelings. You might feel defensive. You'll want to look away.

DON'T.

Between the Trump win and the Māori haka, I think every single White Liberal in America has forgotten that it's Native American Heritage Month. Your posturing for two years was cute, but glad to see your true colors come out again.

P.S. It's White. Your colors is White.

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline
