I made this piece trying to capture the feelings I have as I try to navigate a minority on my own land. The top left corner is to represent the home I crave to have under seven stars representing the Seven Generations that led me to where I am on my path. The top Right is the vast land that covers Turtle Island with medicines as the sky showcasing the comfort I feel knowing that I am protected by Creator and my Ancestors. The bottom Left is to represent me and my friends at A7G showcasing our style as the “Indigenous Creatures” we are. The bottom right is to represent the collateral damage that is the intergenerational trauma that was left by colonialism. My heart might be guarded, but the more I walk with Mother Earth the easier it is for me to be guided back to it.
