this is from the Palestinian Obi and Dress Exhibition run by Maki Yamamoto, who runs the Palestinian Embroidery Obi Project (link is to an article about it). she works with women in the West Bank and Gaza as well as Japanese artisans to produce and sell embroidered obi (kimono sashes) to high-end Japanese markets, ensuring that the Palestinian women get paid fairly for their work. she's been to the West Bank numerous times, including many trips to high-tension areas like Al-Khalil and Bil'in. this photo, where the model is wearing a Hirbawi kufiya and a mother of pearl carving from Bethlehem in addition to the kimono, is sourced from Yamamoto's Twitter. by the way, mother of pearl carving is a longstanding handicraft tradition in Bethlehem that seems like it's less known compared to things like tatreez and olive wood carving. there are some really beautiful Palestinian mother of pearl pieces out there.

You know what?

This is a great time to post this video.

Heilung is a Norse Folk Metal band (that I don't usually post about because they're white). They follow old Norse traditions to the t.

And they've been doing concerts at Native American Reservations.

And they did something really cool that I liked. (Original videos didn't allow me to save, so here's. A duet, but the link goes to the original).

This is a clip from their intro ceremony. You can see a Native American woman doing wafting sage (I think it's white sage? Correct me if I'm wrong. Indigenous creators say she's calling their Indigenous ancestors, and if I remember correctly, that's what white sage is for).

But what's cool about this is because Heilung is following old Norse traditions, they're contacting Old Norse ancestors in their performance.

So when they performed on indigenous land they had the people there call their ancestors to get in okay from them before Heilung called on their ancestors.

And that's badass.

That's the unity that we need in the world. That's the kind of thing I want to share on indigenous peoples' day. A group respecting the land that their on by having the people there call their ancestors and okay it before Heilung called on their own.
