Anishinaabe Healing (facebook)

We don’t want pity. We don’t want to be saved. We don’t want apologies that never come.

We want justice. We want our land respected. We want our language spoken again. We want our children to grow up proud, not broken. We want to see our women safe, our men strong, our Two-Spirits honored. We want to heal the wounds that were forced on us — but on our terms, in our way.

What do the Anishinaabe want most? To be whole again. To live free, as our ancestors once did — with dignity, with ceremony, with love for all of Creation.

We want to stop surviving, and start thriving. Because our future generations deserve more than survival. They deserve to see what it truly means to be Anishinaabe.

We are not asking. We are remembering. We are reclaiming. We are rising.

Nimo'aya!

For the second class in Bobby Chiu's Clip Studio Fundamentals course, I learned about the different fill tools available in Clip Studio Paint. This was a huge relief to me because I get nervous trying out tools that I haven't used before, and this is going to make my digital art process easier for sure!

For the assignment, Bobby provided this line art to fill in using the different fill tools. And then we had to add a word behind the dog. My inspiration for this was Anishnaabe regalia, and 'Nimo'aya' means 'I am good' in Ojibwe which I think suited the dog nicely :)

We have this Scrabble board in our office that people just used to add whatever words they felt like and the rules of the actual game do not apply. But lately, it's been sort of a current events board that has included welcoming students, Halloween, the Barbie movie, and the election. After the election I switched it to this. The Native American, First Nation, and Anishinaabe are mine.

being mixed indigenous sucks sometimes lol i hate being so disconnected from my culture. ugh

i was trying to look into resources for potawatomi third genders / two-spirit but it's hard to find reliable ones and even harder to find ones from two-spirit people themselves. i've seen terms like m'netokwe mentioned before that might appeal to me but there's hardly any extensive resources on them out there
