Happy Friday, Everyone! I just received some welcome good news: I will be presenting at the annual conference of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association this June in Oklahoma City. The theme this year is "Roots and Origins." My topic, taken from my thesis, is "Creation Story Motifs as Expressions of Identity and Resiliency in the Visual Culture of Kahnawà:ke," highlighting fashions by Tammy Beauvais and beadwork by Leith Mahkewa.
I am grateful.
