  6. #ThrowbackThursday
    2020.

    #Laichwiltach Nation’s Hereditary Chief Tsahaukuse's (aka George Quocksister Jr.) traditional, #handwoven Chief's #hat. Made from yellow #cedar bark with beading & an #EagleFeather attached.
    Sitting in front of the woven hat is a row of some #handcarved miniature canoe #paddles, carved from red & yellow cedar. Chief Darren Blaney of the #Xwémalhkwu aka #Homalco #FirstNation #carved over 100 of these paddles. They were carved in #honour of the many young Homalco lives lost.

  7. One of the new Indigenous friends that I made at the ribbon skirt workshop this weekend, Kecia, is a fellow weirdo Aquarian & from Namgis First Nation in Alert Bay. Although we just met, I've met some of her family from her birthplace prior - it was really cool to chat about those unexpected connections.

    Kecia brought this bag that her niece, Brianna Dick, made. It's a gorgeous #PurpleCamas #CoastSalish design.
    Brianna has an #OnlineStore where you can see/buy some of her #handmade #Indigenous #ArtsAndCrafts

    #BriannaBearArt is an Indigenous - owned and founded, #Canadian #artist store established in 2020 by Brianna Bear. Based in the traditional territory of the #Lekwungen, place to smoke herring lands of the #Songhees and #Esquimalt nations in #VictoriaBC.

    ​Brianna started first as an artist with more than fifteen plus years of experience. She began learning under her grandfather Skip Dicks younger brother, Butch Dick. Afterwards she branched out into discovering her roots and design through her #cultural connections to Songhees & #Namgis formline design.

    Today, working as one of a few Indigenous female artist within her traditional territory of the Songhees people, she has worked on murals, logos, small business designs, small event designs and more!

    Brianna believes in telling stories through her design as you will see through this site."

  9. After the Brown vs Board of Education ruling, which desegregated schools nationally, KKK activity saw a rise across the South. However, a KKK rally at Hayes Pond #OTD in 1958 was dispersed by hundreds of armed Lumbee tribal members, who had collaborated on intelligence gathering with Black community members. Today the Battle of Hayes Pond is a Lumbee holiday.

    Today's art is from Lumbee artist Gene Locklear: genelocklear.com/
